Must get a move on this morning. My piano innards are coming back home this morning!
I have always been a lazy morning person. It takes me a long time to wake up. When I had to work 8-5 for many years, it was a challenge. I could do it, of course, and did. But one of the perks of having more free time is the opportunity to laze around in my pajamas, reading a chunk of a novel, flipping through Instagram, writing a blog post, making a second cup of coffee and sitting on the sofa next to my husband as we have our morning chat.
So, as strange as this may seem to some of you, the fact that the piano tuner is arriving at 9:30 is throwing me off my game! Silly. In the midst of reading and checking my email, I realized that I had to get moving!
We watched the Golden Globes last night. We don’t do that as a rule, but it was fun! We were pulling for Roma and Rachel Brosnahan of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and were happy to see them win. And seeing Carol Burnett and Dick Van Dyke was wonderful. Burnett raised some interesting points about the state of television today – her show would never be done now. No one would spend the money on it. There’s too much competition from shows that are on what seems like a thousand different networks and devices. Don and I often say that there’s too much. On one hand, a lot of people get work and that’s good. (But they’re not paid nearly as much as they used to be. Trust us on that one.) And there’s more variety – more options. On the other hand, “too much” can dilute the power and quality of the work. But it is what it is and there’s no going back, unfortunately.
Food for thought.
Last night’s sunset.
Happy Monday.
