This morning came with weird weather, on the edge of a storm. I did laundry and lounged awaiting time to go to the cue to cue rehearsal at the theatre. I have mixed feelings about it because I’m excited to be a part of theater again and also worried about the sound part of it …
Picked up Aiden and headed down to the theater as today was tech day to get the lights hung and figured out. I will confess to you being very nervous about what the atmosphere was going to be like given the past week of turmoil but it turned out to be one of the best …
Today was a step or two forward and then a step or three back. I dropped my duvet off at the laundry place I’d bought a coupon for, worked a bit and then had a lovely lunch at The Cottage restaurant with a friend. When I returned my system wouldn’t hook back up to my …
Didn’t make it onto the treadmill this morning but I sure got my mental work out over the course of the day. Took some time to sit and knit this morning and ground myself before I left and on my way to the car enjoyed my garden, finding one little sweet pea in bloom which …
Today I awoke early and got on my treadmill for the first time in months. at the office early, clients called and dropped in asking If i would still be their person. The news must be getting out at the firm that I am cutting ties. It is fulfilling to know I am wanted and …
This day was full of great moments, successes and surprises. I had fun meeting Larry, a guy who bought my Apple Watch for his wife for their anniversary. I didn’t have the original box so I packaged it in tissue in a gift bag, ready for giving. He was so looking forward to surprising her. …
My day(s) is(are) full of much that involve too many other people’s reputations and truths so there isn’t much i can speak of for now. in saying I am trying to tread the thin line that is the high road immediately implies my superior attitude in all situations but really, I just want to live …
Today mostly involved Netflix. I finished Umbrella Academy which I love. Next up was The Social Dilemma which is a terrifying documentary. And finally I am binging Dead To Me. Brilliant actors pulling off a very odd premise. In between episodes I shortened some curtains for Ashlée, fixed some jeans for Roger, picked up a …
I picked up Aiden before 8 and we headed to the theatre for a lighting workshop. Kris Aasen has the experience and was brought down from Edmonton to teach us. Thanks to a Christie Lights donation he brought a second board so we could let everyone have opportunity to be hands on. There was a …
I awoke remembering a morning 19 years ago. My alarm had gone off but there was momentary radio silence and then the DJ said something about one of the twin towers being hit by a plane and that it had just collapsed. I honestly thought it was a joke but jumped out of bed to …
My sunflower versus my work neighbour’s… Pop up mall was back and Sean, CFEK general manager bought coffee. A great moment in the sun with co-working space friends. It was a jump from one thing to the other day, paid and volunteer moments that included a visit from both Rae-Anne and Maureen. A client stopped …
It really is quite interesting that the only sunflower in my yard flowering is the one in the bag of dirt, the rest being tall but still green. A fun day happened at work with 4 local businesses setting up a pop-up mall in the Ground Floor parking lot. There was a barista, a barber, …
I was left with so many thoughts about the two conversations I had with two very dear friends. I had been asked by Maureen to put together a wish list of gear for the community theatre and I reached out to Doug Cox for advice. His experience as Artistic Director of Vancouver Island MusicFest, professional …
If I stop to dwell on this mission to blog I become overwhelmed with all the little issues. I try not to go back and reread. The temptation to edit is too great, even to fix the spelling and grammar changes the meaning of the moment. To not go back also leaves me wondering how …
I had raggedy sleep last night. No alarm though due to the Labour Day long weekend. I spent the morning researching and ordering a tech item to create a special effect for the upcoming show. Although I think Aiden and I created something wonderful with what we had available, it seems the Directors want more …
Awoke at a decent time, had a coffee and was about to head out to build my gate for the back side of the trailer when I ran into a doe in the yard. . This of course motivated me to get working on my gate even more. I got as much done as I …
I spent the morning researching and preparing lighting design ideas for the show Almost, Maine. I came up with some ideas that give me relief. I also reached out to my old friend, Marv on Salt Spring for suggestions. Next thing I strapped my lawn chair to my bike, brought a water bottle and snack …
Hopped on the bike and rode into the sunrise. had a very productive day and finished it off with dinner at friends. It feels like everything is getting back to normal after the chaos of the week. A year ago I was in Brighton Beach walking in the English Channel and spending time with my …
The little square on my paper calendar and the list on my phone was full with Dentist for cleaning, Tech meeting for upcoming show and strata council meeting. I brought Aiden with me to the tech meeting as I think he would be great as a theatre volunteer and it will be a good college …
