Day Eighty-Four, Sunny Sunday But Not At Night

It was a beautiful day, I am sure of it, I am pretty sure I saw sunbeams slanting through the french door in the dining area. The dogs may have been basking in it. surely they were if there were any sunbeams to be found. The weather was warm-ish and though the morning sky was grey, there was no rain at all that I was aware of. I finally went out of the house to take Prima to a concert that FM performed in. I was surprised at the number of people I knew performing in the concert, current students from ex-work, a former teacher, the daughter of an old friend, it was funny to see how many people from different walks of my life were there, performing.

We sang so much when I was growing up, in the car around the house, out on walks. In the Great North everyone seemed to have a little house somewhere on their land, when we kids had overnights in them, we would sing all night long, silly songs, country songs, folk songs, rounds, madrigals(?), pop, you name it, we sang it. It never occurred to me that people that weren't related gathered to sing together. I mean outside of bands, which I was familiar with, not being raised by wolves as far I as I remember. Watching those kids sing tonight, I realize that most of them didn't make that first choice, their parents did. And that was as far as I went with that. I did entertain the thought of enrolling Prima, and when we got home I told her I thought we should sign her up, and she argued it down.

I don't have a lot to reflect on today, I have been plagued by severe allergies all day. I don't know what I am allergic to and my head is so stuffy, nose stopped up, I can't breathe through my nose, my eyes itch and I cannot figure out what I am allergic to. As of now all I can think of is benedryl and bedtime. Goodnight!
