02-13-22 Matinée Day
It was another glorious late winter day in Cranbrook. The roads are getting wider as the melt ensues. The mountains take my breath away every time I get a glimpse. I took care of some chores and made a food plan for the week. It was call time at 12:30 for the crew and I always stay in the entry room to welcome everyone, remind them to sign in and take their temperatures and communicate with the Front of House volunteers what the cues are they need to give me to start the first and second act. It is a lovely part of my role as the Stage Manager and Stage Hand are getting everything set on stage, ready for the show. Today turned out to be a good day to go for a couple walks down the alley to soak up some sun and calm my stress.
There was a happy little audience of 13, most seniors. They are always the ones that are early so the show could have gone on 15 minutes earlier but for everyone’s sake and consistency we just started on time. Our sponsor was there again to test our recording equipment as there are future renters that are interested in the service. It seems like our laptop needs an update, or a replacement to make it happen though. I have left it in his hands to sort as he sold me the gear and it is running properly. I look forward to his assistance in hooking up the camera for the shows to be able to run on the monitors throughout the building as well. I sure appreciate his dedication to Team CCT.
I left and headed to Safeway to get my fruit and veg for the week. I am really looking forward to my fresh mussels tomorrow night! I picked up Caesar salad makings and after dropping the groceries at home, headed to Rae-Anne’s for dinner and a visit. Jake made it back from dropping off Emmy, a 4 hour or so round trip and we had a nice visit, played a little Rummicube and then it was time to get home and get focused for a busy week of Board meeting prep, files to complete and rest up for Thursday to Saturday’s run. As it happens, our techie was still not feeling well so I was glad I had suggested I run the show for the duration.
A bonus to the day was wearing clothes I haven’t fit into in a long time. I haven’t weighed this low since November 2020. I felt very heavy then! It is amazing how much more energy I have from healthier eating. It motivates me to keep going!
