 I didn't feel great today. I have had really bad allergies lately but am starting to think that maybe it is either leading into a cold or was a cold the whole time. (It would have been a long cold with strange symptoms but nevertheless I've wondered if it has led to something more.) 

I debated for a little bit about cancelling everything but I haven't had a fever and really most of my symptoms were like allergies...sneezing, itching mouth and eyes and stuffed up nose. so we started everything choir and orchestra. They were nice small groups, which made it nice. I also worried about loosing my voice but I didn't.

I am excited about our choir music and our advanced orchestra music and am trying to figure out how I can help beginner more. Beginner is tricky because the levels are so split but I feel like everyone is progressing so that is the main goal there.

The boys have been doing well training their parakeets. It's been fun for them to have the land on their hands.
