busy weeks
It has been a very busy couple of weeks. Last week my sister was visiting from out of state. Last Saturday we had her baby shower. On Sunday she, her friend, S. and I went to the harvest festival at Ardenwood Farm. We had fun and picked lots of popping corn. Later that night I had rehearsal and then I took her to her hotel on the peninsula as she had an early morning flight out of SFO.
Monday S. and I did shopping and stuff and that night I performed with the Fly Girls at the Hubba Hubba Revue. It went OK. Crappy carpeted stage which kind of sucked, but we did OK. Saw zahraa there which was nice, spilled beer on my dress which was not so nice. S. was running around wired to the gills when I got home after midnight. ::sigh::
Tuesday I cannot even remember what S. and I did but then I had dance class Tuesday night and thankfully the shoes I accidentally left in the studio two weeks ago were still there. I really ought to write my name in them So, that was three nights in a row I was not home in the later evening or for dinner. ::double sigh::
Wednesday S. and I traveled to ptor's work for lunch with him then we went to the post office to get our mail, mail a package and purchase postcard stamps for the Big Moves mailing and that turned out to be more of an adventure than I'd hoped. I really, really hate the post office. S. is, however, endlessly fascinated by the package lockers at the post office.
Thursday we had music class, then Starbucks for a snack and tea, then the library for puzzles and new books, then Trader Joe's shopping and then a walk where S. fell asleep in the stroller and I popped a tire in the stroller after rolling over someone's random earring. Thankfully the tire pop came at the end of the walk. While S. slept and a little after I picked the remaining tomatoes and later discovered that they didn't taste all that good. I think we are done with our tomatoes for the year. S. played with the water as usual and, as usual, got soaked.
Friday S. and I took a trip into the city so I could pick up my mailing labels from Dancer's Group for our mailing. After we did that errand we picked up catzen at his work and had lunch with him. We had fun and S. watched boats and ate his first ever french fries. He also picked up the raw red onions off catzen's plate and ate those. Then we came back home and a few hours later I had to turn around and drive back up to Oakland for a dance performance. catzen attended with me and it was pretty good.
Today (Saturday) I had rehearsal in Berkeley and it was good. I am trying to bot get crushed by the anxiety around the fact that the show is in only three weeks. I got home to discover ptor and S. were gone and ptor's phone was off. I drove to Panera and, as expected, they were there, ptor sipping coffee and reading and S. sleeping in the stroller. They'd been out and about and had a trip to the library. I ordered and ate a quick lunch then we all went home and I headed back out for my hair appointment. My hair looks good even though the stylist cut my face layers shorter than I had intended and they were cut before I had a chance to say "NOOOOOO!". It actually looks really good though, so alls well that ends well.
Those have just been the events of my week. I also have been doing all the general keeping up with a two year old that has to be done, cooking and cleaning, and then a few hours of concentrated Big Moves related work every night. It has been stressful and hectic and it will not slow down for another three weeks or so. I actually have so much to do right now I do not know where to begin.
