Judy had another fitful night of sleeping with the coughing. She has been using Nyquil, and it helps, but there are still some rough moments. She’s been drinking a lot of hot water with lemon and honey. She gets through the day, but ready to relax when she gets home. There is no school tomorrow or Friday due to the national Labor Day holiday. It’ll be a real chance to recover.

One of the Chinese teachers at BISS brought Judy a Chinese cough remedy.

I spent yesterday and today getting “closely” acquainted with “Garageband”. Now that I have the “interpreted” version of the school song, I wanted to get it into a form that would be more permanent, with an accompaniment. When we learn this with the music classes, I want them to have a finished product they can sing along with. I had to write/record the melodic line, and then a bass line. The most difficult part was the percussion accompaniment. It took half of today just to figure out how to create a snare roll, and then write/record the whole piece. I know there will be adjustments later, but at least I have solid base to work from.
