01-30-22 What a great day!
I had a good sleep, and was having a coffee while checking my email when I received a text from Diane to go for a walk at Jim Smith Lake. As I wasn’t needed at the theatre until 1:30, I got myself dressed appropriately and she picked me up. She gifted me with the perfect set of grippers that fit over my winter hikers. We spent about an hour circling a big loop on the frozen lake. There were big cracks and on occasion there were loud noises that were unnerving but apparently it is normal. I will admit that one of the occurrences got my blood pounding a little. It was such a great visit and a wonderful way to get my steps in. It started to softly snow as we made our way back to her truck. The grippers were incredible, I had no stress about falling, nor did I have to walk like a penguin.
Once dropped off, I got changed into my painting clothes and headed to the theatre. Before I left I received an email that there was a rental until 3:30 which threw off the plan. Duncan, Matt and I spent time in the basement building the recycle box set piece and getting ready to work onstage. Aspen and Camille arrived and we all got as much done as possible before we had to clear up and leave as the church was in the studio and I was using a chop saw to put the siding on the set. I am sure we would have had noise complaints. We are all very thrilled with what we got done though and made plans to take some work time off to come and do more. It needs to be done before next weekend as that will all be dedicated to tech and then the following Friday is opening night already!
Bill and Deanne invited the family for a delicious dinner of flank steak, roast potatoes, Caesar salad and cheesecake. So spoiled and lovely to spend time together. Deanne introduced me to an app she uses to track her walks and hikes called Runkeeper. I downloaded it and know it will inspire me to get out there more.
Once I got home I worked on show items for Social Media and reviewed draft number two of the program. It looks really great and with the couple of additions I had, will be ready to send for review by the Production Manager and Director and then off to the printer. I need to make sure nobody gets left out.
All in all it was a lovely productive day. This weekend didn’t turn out at all like I planned but it was good.
Oh, and I finished the wee little puzzle from hell over my coffee this morning.
