Holding on to the future

Monday mornings are hard because the burden of the whole work week is sitting before me. The possibilities of the week seem infinite, and, therefore, overwhelming.

Today I need to book my time off. I think I'll take all of next week. I'm looking for suggestions on cheap or free stuff to do around Vancouver during weekdays, if anyone has any thoughts.

Tonight Russ is going to visit Milton the Drum Guy. I've been eagerly anticipating getting the drums for Silver Spiral for many months now. Finally, we'll have them and be able to start learning group drumming. I think it'll be wonderful.

I have much to look forward to.

I will try to hold on to that, though I feel heavy with the anticipation of another full work week.

Boom-boom-ba-da-boom

The drums arrived!

I have a sweet, simple little 8" djembe now! It is so beautiful and such a lovely sound!

And there's a table-full of drums here. Duke, Lindsay and Rob have taken theirs home, but drums for me, Russ, Elaine, ED and Shannon are still here.

In the chaos of getting everything packed up and paid for, they forgot Alysha's drum at the warehouse! Russ has already emailed Milton, so hopefully that'll get resolved quickly.

This is going to be fabulous! I can't wait to start learning how to drum and to start working with Silver Spiral.

I don't think work was particularly good, but it has all been washed away by the excitement. Woo-hoo!
