09-30-26 a Day
It is a statutory holiday for truth and reconciliation. I admit that I did nothing today in honour of that. It’s one of the first times. I haven’t worn orange you’re gone to one of the gatherings or both. I wasn’t sleeping well last night so I let myself sleep in and then the next thing I knew it was time to get ready and go to rehearsal.
The nice part about my getting ready is my routine of weighing myself every morning and I am very happy to see that I am below 200 pounds for the first time since just before I broke my ankle in December 2024.
I wore my corset over my dress for the rehearsal so I could see how it would affect my back and actually it was pretty good. I will wear each rehearsal amount until I’m very comfortable with it because I need to be able to check my breathing and how tight it should be etc..
Rehearsal went fairly well, although there are still a couple of people who need to get off book better. I did have to ask for lines twice so I know where I need to concentrate
I think the issue is there hasn’t been any actual time spent on the intention of the scene the intention of the character the connection so I am just going to continue doing the best that I can do and be sure that it will all come together. I am glad that we’ll have one or maybe two extra run-throughs in the next week.
I stopped to see Rae-Anne meet Lando their new puppy. What a beautiful boy he is he’s a springer spaniel and is so calm and cuddly and lovely and has clearly bonded with her as even while she’s cooking dinner he wanted to lay on her feet. She and I had a good talk about my need to hydrate and monitor my protein intake. She gave me samples of what she uses and recommended creatine and magnesium, as well as electrolyte packages to add to my water, which I did manage to find when I went for groceries afterwards, and then I came home and ordered creatine from Amazon to get the same kind that she had given me a sample of because it tasted good.
I decided to do a shop at Safeway as it has been sometimes since I did a proper shop and I wanted to make sure I got healthy food that I could enjoy in small meals more often. It turns out that protein is expensive. I got two bags of groceries for $301 actually 310 because I used points to take $10 off. And most of what I bought had been on special and the receipt that I saved $67.49.! two bags wow 
I did get two of my favourite things as the cookies always remind me of Jake when they come out and these are new ones for the season. And I love ground lamb and it’s so much healthier and there were six packages on for six dollars each with two dollar markdowns because they need to be used soon so I bought them all and threw them in the freezer. I love using it for shepherds pie and tacos especially as well as spaghetti sauce.
