Cause Gwen asked....
Alright, alright, so since I have been totally neglecting this journal since I'm a Facecrack addict, I guess I'd better make a real post ;)
I love Autumn. I don't always love the crazy that goes with it, but I do love this season. It's just so hard to stay focused on things when I know that a 20 minute drive will plunk me at the entrance to a hiking trail.
The crazy is about my usual level. College is going well thus far. Two classes I don't really even have to try in, one that I do. Good thing I find business law interesting ;) I'm wrapping up production on the final song for Twelfth Night this evening and submitting it to the director for approval. Rehearsals including the musicians/gypsies begin next week. It's been such a long time since I've been involved in a theatrical production--I'm really looking forward to this one. Teaching a 401 level over at Esoterica. My favorite level to teach--I love seeing my students spread their wings.
Lots of ghosts of friendships past this week. Going to see a pack of people I hung out with in high school on Friday night including the high school sweetheart. Should be good fun--other than Joe, I haven't seen any of them in ages. Friday mid-day one of my close friends from my military days is dropping by for a visit. She's got a four day pass out of training in NJ, so that'll be cool. She'll be here till Monday.
Pagan Yard Sale Saturday, seeing the in-laws Saturday night (they're coming down for the weekend). Practice Sunday. Then party prep next week. I've spent most of the day tagging all the stuff for the Pagan Yard Sale. Amazing how much stuff one can accumulate!
The one major hurdle since school started has been fitting in my work out. Had a couple weeks there where I only worked out once or twice. It was really beginning to be noticeable--I self-medicate with exercise. If I go too long without, my brain starts a nasty combination of negativity/lethargy. So I've started getting up a half hour earlier to begin my day with a workout. I feel a bit more normal today.
I guess the only bad thing going on is gigs. It's hard--I know we're weird, I know the economy sucks, but it's still rough to send out booking inquiry after booking inquiry and get nothing in response. We're good, we work hard. I wish that was enough, you know?
And that's the news from Irene-land. Stunningly interesting, I know ;) How's everyone else doing?
