Applesauce Toast
Well, well. It has been a crazy day. I was awfully sick late last night which has made eating today a pain in the butt. I've managed a piece of toast with apple sauce (my mom's solution to upset tummies) and a mug of chai tea, no icky milk. But as I had the kettle on and the toaster at the same time, I ended up blowing a fuse and now the overhead light and the counter outlet does not work. That has never happen before and it means no toaster, kettle, or microwave!. I did get my breakfast though the toast still looked like bread. I called the landlord but nothing has come of it yet. The breaker is in the apartment next door, so when they get home tonight I'll run over and see if they can help me out. It is really wierd for me to be sick again like this. I'm fine going to bed and wake up a few hours later ~so~ sick. The last time was the last night Stephen's parents were here, and now again! I think before the last two weeks I had not been that sick since childhood (not counting any drinking episodes!).
I went down to return Fable, an xbox game, to blockbuster and one of the movies I've been keeping an eye on has come down to $10 so I bought Master and Commander. I can't wait until Stephen comes home and we can watch it! The period detail on the costumes are fab; it is funny how excited a girl can get about button flap fly pants. Then again, staring at Russell Crow's crotch is fun too.
My sewing test is this weekend. I'm really starting to get nervous and jittery about it. I can't believe that I'm getting a shot at a job at Stratford. It is such a dream job for me. I love historical costuming and this is _the_ place to do it in Ontario. I have to rent a car to get there on Saturday and I'm hoping to convince Stephen to come along. There will not be a whole lot for him to do while I'm taking the 4 hour test and tour, but he is such a rock of support for me. It makes me so happy to have a man that supports what I do and what I love. When he went with me to my interviews at the Canadian Opera Company, it felt so good to pour out all my thoughts and feelings to him on the trip home. I have gone to school for the training and I have some talent at what I do, but I have no idea how the actual business works and I'm just feeling it out as I go. Speaking of which, my contract arrived in the mail yesterday for the rest of the Opera's season. I'm starting back two weeks earlier than I thought I would be, which makes getting an intermim job more difficult. It looks like it might be best to wait tables. I don't know why i feel so iffy about doing it, i used to love waiting tables. I think it might have a bit to do with admitting defeat - that someone will think I can't cut it in my industry. I gotta get over that!
