Today was a mixed day, though mostly a difficult one.
I woke up feeling extremely dysregulated, probably because of the material I took to therapy. It took hours to settle and relax again.
The day ended with some fairly disgusting calamari, but also a lovely breeze. I’m making the most of it, because from Monday it looks like low teens and rain for the week.
Monday brings the support worker search again. Tuesday is my disability access plan for uni.
Tomorrow is church as usual, with choral singing, then the usual afternoon collapse on the couch. #ActuallyAutistic

Last night's first Cantiamo Sonoma concert went pretty well, I'd say.

I'd forgotten how unnerving and exposed-feeling it can be to sing in a small unaccompanied vocal group in front of a full house. Been a very long time since I've sung in a group this small. I love it, but it's challenging!

I think we started out well and then for some reason lost some confidence about mid-way through. Not sure why. And I think we were singing too loud, in general. But the audience seemed to really like the performance.

And now of course today I am sick. A cold, I think, but very annoying. Taking it VERY easy (despite having lots of work to do and Christmas prep to do!) in hopes of shaking it by the next concert tomorrow night.
