I've survived another choir concert. This one was at EMU and included choirs from some other high schools as well as a choir from EMU. Cordelia had workshops and rehearsals there all day, and the concert was at 7:30 this evening.

Scott and I got a new ceiling fan/light fixture for the bedroom. We haven't put it up yet; that's tomorrow's project. Scott looked for a second pair of trousers at Meijer's and found nothing in his size. I did the grocery shopping while he looked. It was disorienting because neither of us go to that particular store regularly. We had no idea where anything was, and our list form is optimized for the store where we usually shop.

We walked around the EMU campus for about forty five minutes before the concerts, and I hacked quite a few portals that I'd never visited before. That inched me forward a tiny amount on my grind for badges.

The concert was generally good, but my ears seem to be out of synch with each other so that I need to cover one ear in order not to feel like I'm getting piercing feedback whenever the voices get particularly loud. It also makes me feel like my ears are draining which is odd because I don't feel like they're congested. It's puzzling.

My right hand is doing much better today. I didn't post earlier because a story bit me yesterday. It's nearly 6K words now and not done, and I'm peeved at myself because the Worldbuilding Exchange story is due next week and not yet anywhere near to done.

I think I may need to get my hearing checked. Tonight's choir concert got painful whenever there was a forte high note. It sounded, every time, like it was coming through a sound system that couldn't handle the load-- loud, sharp, feedbacky noise. Scott didn't hear it that way, so it wasn't just us sitting in an acoustically bad place. I'm pretty sure that it's not possible that six different choirs (two different teachers/directors) doing twenty plus songs all made the same mistake, so I'm assuming it was my ears.

Anyway, it's bedtime. I'll try for actual content tomorrow. If anybody has advice about how to stop a story that's flowing and insisting in order to go and finish one with a deadline, I'd love to hear it. Assuming it's not the just-damned-well-do-it part of the advice. I know that bit pretty thoroughly. It's the doing it part that's hard.

Oh, and please pick a number 1-4. I have ambiguous endings to match each number and am writing partly find out which one's true. Maybe, if you all vote, I can put it aside...
