The Derby Days Fundraiser Gala was wonderful! Nearly 350 people came to this annual event to encourage and support the local symphony in another season of musical history. All went well with the exception of me deciding to have a couple glasses of wine instead of my sedative. Not that I made a scene or anything. I just shouldn't be having alcohol with my medications and now after two and a half hours of sleep, I am wide awake. A common occurrence when I drink alcohol. There is also the fact that I don't like to encourage any alcoholic intake with the family history of abuse/self medicating. I am trying not to beat myself up for the drinks (as the lack of sleep will do that for me) for it has been quite some time since I had indulged.
While at the Gala we bid on two items in the silent auction. First was a package to have your vehicle detailed inside and out. For those of you not familiar with the term detailed, it means to have your vehicle cleaned down to every detail. We did not win that package. Also we bid on a spa package for me! We won that one! So I have a spa day coming. Complete with facial, manicure, pedicure, and massage. I am looking forward to that!
Our table had four other delightful couples and the conversation was plentiful. I attempted to keep up with all the chatter but felt left out often because of the size of the group. I prefer a quitter setting, one that I don't have to yell to be heard. My voice does not carry well, unless I am angry. So conversation was to a minimum for me. There was talk of movies and books. We are even hoping to have a movie night with one of the couples to watch older, favorite films.
We had this photo taken at the Gala. Well, this is a photo of the photo. That is the quickest way for me to add a physical photo to my computer. So the quality isn't the best, but you'll have an idea of how my husband and I look together.
That is all for now, it is 2:10 a.m. Share more later.
