6:30 Glance at cell phone. Did I really wake up that early? Oh well. Let's try to get a little bit more sleep.
7:00 Alarm goes off. Okay, that kind of worked. Make lofted bed in dark without my purple/animal print pillows (or myself) falling off.
7:06 Look in fridge. Leftover Cameron's hazelnut coffee from the brother will save some brew time. Zap in microwave.
7:07 Fire up the Sinatra Sunday playlist!
7:09 Wash face, wrangle hair with purple flatiron, try on polka-dot dress. Nope. End of Trinity season - too loud. Change into darker color.
7:15 This is NOT working. Change again.
7:35 Should get going. Oh wait, forgot the coffee. Head back. Let's try this again.
7:45 Yay! The door that's never unlocked gets unlocked. The trombone parts, however, are wrong. Which way do they transpose again?
8:00 Run through EVERYTHING. Piano gets stick up. Yessss.
8:22 The rehearsal went that long? Where's the coffee?
8:30 Early service! It's Rite Three day - let's test our sightreading skills. Not bad. Nobody in the brass department falls off the wagon.
9:40 Service done. Play through all the fun Christmas music while drinking Bible class coffee (still thinking about the words). Ooooh. Buxtehude cantata?
10:10 Found parts. Print parts! Printer gets jammed. All parts print double. Anitphonal "In dulci jubilo"? Possibly.
10:20 Locate family of string musicians in hallway. Distribute parts and utilize best persuasive knack to stay in town for Christmas morning. It's working.
10:45 Quick, sort out parts! Finish coffee. Time for late service.
11:00 Fix piano lid without losing precious fingers. Drive back in absolute ecstasy about Christmas repertoire.
11:27 Run, trying to sing fugues with oneself. Not working.
12:09 Om nom.
1:10 Arrive at seminary, lay out all the Pieper stuff on table in an effort to look like homework is getting done. Coffeepot still halfway full - score.
1:20 Get lost in discussion about Romans 13/two kingdoms/church-state separation/Spanish liturgical music/being a motorcycle-riding old lady with a friend. :)
2:26 Zoom off to a choir concert at the church across from my church, only to be kidnapped in a friendly manner by a fellow concertgoer (the choir director's sister).
2:58 Find seat next to a former professor and son of my organ instructor, by sheer coincidence. Discover my distant musical second-cousin is singing a tenor solo. Cool.
3:15 Schubert's Mass in G has a walking-bass Credo, just like BWV 232. Interesting.
4:10 Solo cello AND choir.
4:30 Potential soloist for Coffee Cantata? Winning. Say hi to church choir friends. Dash back to sem.
4:50. Read Pieper about the divine essence and attributes. Wait, so while the Trinity's essence is indivisible, God still "divides" His attributes in Scripture so we can understand them? What about names of God?
5:40 My head hurts. More coffee. Ouch, the microwave.
6:15 Om nom NOM nom NOM.
7:00 Practice? Hmmm. Well, the organ shoes are not here, so...24 marathon! Jack Bauer will find them for me. :)
