1. I’m going to be on tv tomorrow. Local (South Bend) station, WSBT, playing and talking about hammered dulcimer, as part of a feature on the Yellow River Festival. I’m not sure what time yet, but it should be somewhere between 7 and 8:30 in the morning. If you don’t live here or miss it, you might be able to catch it on their website — they have some stories available as video on demand.
I am very nervous. Talk about short notice. I have to decide what to wear. What to play if I get a chance to play something. Consider what they might ask, what I might say. I hope I don’t say anything to embarrass the festival people.
2. Weeks and weeks after I backed out of the garage too close to the side and broke the side mirror off, it is now fixed. Amy and I sat around in and out of the body shop office while they put the new mirror on, and we got to meet a baby and two little kids stopping by their daddy’s work on their way to the grocery store.
3. After the body shop, we went to Wal-mart to buy some toddler underwear. I was hoping to find some thicker underwear, training pants, but they didn’t have any. I hemmed and hawed and then decided to buy regular underwear and see what happens. A few of my friends have mentioned going straight from diapers to underwear, so there’s precedent.
Amy was very excited to buy the underwear, hold the packages all the way home, and practice trying to put them on and take them off. We talked a lot about not peeing in underwear, but taking it off and using the potty.
She has had two dry diapers this morning (and I think those are the only diapers she’s worn between waking up and napping) and has peed in the potty three times.
4. I’m tired of 33×365. I’m going to take a little (or long) break.
