How has the first month of 2021 come and gone already?! of course this signifies that tomorrow I go Dry. I have decided to raise funds for Cancer Research and signed up to go dry(ish) for February which means I committed to 21 days alcohol free in the month. My son Jake is coming to stay for a few days so I suspect we shall enjoy a bevie. If not I will go the whole month. I am seeking donations so will just leave the link here: https://www.dryfeb.ca/users/marnee-bellavance
I was up and at it and got a few odd things done. Diane started it all with sending a link about a lazy Susan for sale as I have been seeking one. I sent her back a picture of the one I found at the dollar store and that started me sorting my cupboards. That is what i have focused on, if I pick something up, don’t just push it aside but fine a home for it.
I got laundry done and showered, then headed to the theatre to meet the director and producers of the next show at CCT, Shape of a Girl. Should have been a short experience but the gear hasn’t been used in a while and took some time to get it all running and let Amy see what was possible in our space. I really like her and it is funny as we both have professional theatre experience but also descriptor confusion. She wanted a Ground plot which I have never heard of and it took my brain a while to understand, blank stage plot was what she was seeking.
I am still really suffering from the heaviness in my chest from the Hernia and going up and down the three flights of stairs a couple times was trying. I suspect being Dry for Feb may make an impact on that as well. I hope so. I just realized that the theatre jaunt took so much longer than I anticipated that I forgot to pick up my Fluevog boots from the cobbler. I watched two movies this evening. Both very different and yet both good. Locked Down was so current it was interesting and I do like Anne Hathaway and anything set in London. Add that it was set during and showed accurately the issues of a pandemic and I felt it was a win. The second one I just finished: Hacksaw Ridge Wow, I love movies based on true stories and Desmond Doss was a real hero. The first (only?) conscientious objector to get a Medal of Honor. It was well cast and horrifying that anyone on either side had to go through that at all.
Bye bye January, see you soon February!
