state of the chanaleh, in brief
It's been kind of a weird week.
The beginning of last week, I was in a blue funk for some days on end, but it has now (again) been resolved for the short term. A long-term resolution may be in the works, but no further update at the moment. :-)
Now that I've installed NoteWorthy Composer (the official music software of Honorable Menschen), last Thursday I wrote my first full piece of original music, an art-song sort of setting of my favorite section of Song of Songs (3:1-5). The arrangement/accompaniment needs some work (or editing by someone with more music theory than I have), but it's basically complete, which is exciting.
I've been sniffly for several days, and thought it might be allergies rather than a cold. Then, starting Friday, I started to feel a tad fevery and/or lightheaded. The fevery peaked at about 99.2 on Saturday, so it wasn't anything much -- but the lightheaded has continued to come and go. As a result, I missed a whole lot this weekend: at least two concerts (three if you count Booty Vortex) and three parties that I can think of. I'm really sorry, guys.
Last night I finished the first round of page proofs for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queue (732 pages, avast!), and tomorrow I will pick up the corrections, which I will do my best to turn around by the end of the week. Today, though, I am catching up on other projects and housecleaning, including a test run of garlic chicken for Shabbat dinner this week.
It looks like my grandmother's funeral in Indiana is going to be scheduled for the first weekend of June. Plans should firm up in the next day or two.
