Tonight, my cellist son played beautiful music with his youth orchestra. They played so well. He played so well. It was tough on him, as he continues to struggle with long COVID. I was thinking, as I watched him up there on stage how much things have changed. When he was little, I used to worry so much about him keeping up with the orchestra. I never have to worry about that now. He is principal cellist and can play the music so well. Now, I have to worry about his health. He made it, but he is so tired. So tired. I wish for him to get better.
And speaking of tired, I am a tired cello mom. I organized a raffle fundraiser. I made candles and potholders like the ones you see here. I got donations from local companies and other parents and put together gift baskets that I raffled off to raise money for the youth orchestra. I am so happy to report that I raised $400!
But I am beat! I am not good at peopling, so tonight stretched me so far. I was thinking tonight that I cannot believe what a hermit I am. I have to admit it made me proud though that people loved my potholders and candles. I learned how to make new candles. I hope to get them in the online store soon.
We’ll see. Right now, I just want to curl up. I hope you are curling up somewhere cozy.
