Tra la la...

I predict a great weekend, and here's why:

1. It's supposed to get a little bit warmer, which will be a welcome change.
   
2. We get to spend an evening with The Nephew this evening. The Nephew is 10, and is a very, very neat kid. He's also all full of sass, which makes me laugh.
   
3. Tomorrow is a friend's Christmas Party. I like parties.
   
4. We are singing the Vivaldi Gloria (twice) on Sunday. The Vivaldi Gloria is a really fun sing, and I know that many other members of Chamber Choir feel as though they've performed it enough now, thank you, but this is my first crack at it. And I'm excited.
   
5. The evening concert of the Vivaldi represents the last concert of the season for WH and me. This is, perhaps, the earliest that we've ever been finished our concert commitments before Christmas. We are both tired, and ready for considerable rest.
   
6. The funding for transferring my job from contract to permanent was approved yesterday. Can't beat that for good news!
   
7. Mama Cat and Baby Cat have slept right through the night consistently for about the last week or so. When they sleep through the night, WH and I sleep through the night. This is good for all concerned.

Gloria in excelsis deo,
et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis!
