Quiet days

wiseheartI went to choir practice today. It was great to meet the girls again; even though I was there but 3 days ago, I sometimes feel as if I'm closing up on myself. It take an act of will to get up at a reasonable time, now that I don't have to. Still, I do get up around half past eight each day, mostly because the morning hours and the early afternoon are the times when we have natural light, and I prefer to do my writing and crafting by natural light.
Today, I wrote a scene to Kansas 2, worked a bit on my newest explosion box project - the one with the lantern inside - went to the post office, bought some craft paper (only two sheets, though, which I didn't really need, but they were too beautiful to resist), went to the grocer's and then to the choir practice. And that was basically all I did today.
I know I can afford to slow down a little, at least for the first time. But I'm so used to being incredibly busy that I almost feel a little guilty. Especially where the writing is concerned. I really feel that I ought to write more. And finally read something that I don't need for my writing. Perhaps I should dig out the Agatha Christie novels again or whatnot. All I read nowadays is fanfic.
Choir practice is going well, at least. We're practicing for the charity ball next month; just a short little gig. We're going to sing a simple Japanese folk song, then the humming chorus from Puccini's Madam Butterfly, and finally some Hungarian folk songs in three voices. There'll be a professional opera singer performing an aria from Madam Butterfly, and because of all this, the entire ball will have a certain Japanese flair. I'm looking forward to it and planning to take Mum with me as well. She always likes to come to these events.
