Stew

I want to make a stew - Chicken & Sausage Stew. I feel like I am in a stew of emotions. Will cooking help? I do not know!

I am in some sort of sour mood that I can't shake. Difficult to be around.

I judged Region auditions today and it was $100 of agony. The girls kind of knew their music, but tonality was awful. If their choirs make 1's at contest, I really need to stop working so hard to perfect choral tone. I heard 2 good singers out of 35. ugh.

Then I ate a late lunch with Steve and his parents. It was nice.

But silence is nice, too. I just want to be alone for a while. My control is getting shaky. Lately, I am always "ON" and there's no time to just be and relax. It has begun to wear on my nervous system.

Maybe I should go cook that stew. Maybe that would make me feel better. It's what I have wanted to do all week.


Barring the fact, that I don't know how to probably compress my pics for web publishing, here's the 4 mo. comparison.....
