Thursday, 9 May 2013

I took the sleeping pill last night, but for some reason I still woke up in the middle of the night. I was having trouble going back to sleep due to the pain in my left shoulder, so I got up around 3:00 a.m., took 600 more mg of ibuprofen, stayed up for about half an hour (to allow it to take effect), and then went back to bed. I managed to get back to sleep after that and didn't get up until around 7:00 (although I woke up somewhat earlier).

I only had classes in the evening today (4 units: 5:00-6:30 and 6:30-8:00). This morning I took out the plastic bottles and the various containers to their respective recycling places.

I also got some more work done on my orchestration of Avinu Malkenu. It's fairly slow going because, obviously, this piece needs to be very expressive, and that means a lot of rather detailed and painstaking editing. For those of you who aren't familiar with this prayer, it's part of the liturgy for the High Holy Days where we plead with G-d for mercy and compassion ("Avinu Malkenu" means "our Father, our King").

We ate lunch again at Greg café. After that, we took a drive around the short loop.
