November hasn't been a great month.......it's decided to take the course of wrapping the whole dreadful year into one megga awful month and it seems it's enjoying it! Sick cats and nose bleeds (in their various forms - and trust me there are forms of nose-bleed!) have created the status quo that is November.....
Little "Lady Penelope PLC" (I'm sure she got a previous mention) is now running a bill of around (Pounds sterling) 3,800 which I have had to pay and can only hope that the insurance will re-imburse (less the excess)......a Government grant for Uni just simply doesn't stretch.......Financially (if I was in the luxurious state of not having to worry about money) she is worth every penny and some, but the reality is harsh when you realise that if the problem recurs you won't have the funds to get her better... Why does everything always come down to money??????
Music has not kept me sane this month - true it has provided (in it's ever amiable way) solace for all too brief a time, but reality has intruded too far and too close to home to be put to one side and simply brushed under the carpet.....
Music too has been a source of stress - the battle of harmony knowledge v string quartet has not been a) fair b) true to a cause, c) an even fight, d) psychologically sound....... solace evaporates like ether when you need it most and leaves you with the delusions of a reality you don't want to be in (that sounds like I'm tripping, but trust me I'm far from it!).
Hopefully normality will be restored this weekend with a large baking session of delicious pecan pie, sponge based deserts and some fruity crumble.....and probably some breakfast muffins and some chewy cookies........
Life is strange and challenging, if it was not we would be nothing and there would be no notes on the page and no music to hear.............
Tread carefully and love those who are close to you, no matter what the cost :-) x x x
