. . . i made up a word . . .

. . . cankles . . .
{mine are not cute like these!}
+
. . . dangle . . .
=

cangles (ˈkæŋgəls)
swollen areas between the calves and ankles
resulting from dangling one's feet
over organ foot pedals
for a long period of time


. . . which i got to do today . . .
. . . prelude
{with a little break for choir practice} for two hours
before our special stake conference began . . .
. . . opening hymn, rest hymn and closing hymn . . .
. . . with a special choir number thrown in, too . . .
. . . then postlude for half an hour
following the meeting . . .

. . . because our stake was lucky enough
to have a visit from

Elder Quentin L. Cook . . .
. . . a member of the Quorum of the Twelve . . .
. . . which is kind of a big deal . . .
. . . and well worth the cangles! . . .

Love the new word. Hate that you had to make it up and be the poster child for it. Love that your music was glorious from the wonderful prelude of great music to the postlude and the special musical number thrown in there could not have been better and I thank you for providing it so selflessly. So many comments on how wonderful it was mostly because of you, my friend.

I really had empathy for you sitting on that bench for so long! You were masterful, though! Thanks.

Oh Steph, can I say how grateful I am it was you and not me! I think playing the organ in stake conference is kinda stressful. And you had to play the world's longest prelude on top of it. It was beautiful, though, and very much appreciated. You deserve a pedicure/foot massage today, for sure!
