Today was a nightmare! I had to play a wedding and everything went wrong.
First, the music didn't show up in the mail. So, the coordinator scanned it and emailed it to me.
Second, I went to print the music and my printer broke. I still don't have my phone, so I couldn't call the flute player who was coordinating the wedding. Luckily, I was able to email the violinist and she could get an extra copy for me.
Third, the car wouldn't start. Again. I called a friend to come jump it and it still wouldn't start. Great. I started racking my brain and thought of a few people who had big enough cars to fit a harp and struck out twice. On my third call, my student Micaela's mom was home and able to switch cars with me in time for me to load it.
Fourth, I forgot my lunch and was starving.
Fifth, I-5 was stop and go the whole way up to Portland.
Thankfully, I had left enough time that I was still able to get Evelynd to Maddy's in time and make it to the wedding with a couple minutes to spare. I get nervous for every wedding -- I'm always afraid I won't make it or I forgot something and this did not make my stress level very healthy today. In the end, it went well and we made it home safely.
Oh my that sounds sooooo stressful! I'd be a mess! Glad everything worked out though.
