Silverton Phase III: The Homecoming
So the rest of the summer went really well. I have a ton of pictures. I didn't get a day off in the entirety of the last 2.5-3 weeks that I was there, but hey! So it was stressful, but rewarding. The kids put on a production of Peter Pan, for which I did lights and costumes. The rest of the Enchanted April run was really great, despite me fucking up my knee. And on the last night I got to do it without crutches thanks to taping my knee - which was awesome. The best birthday present ever. Then we had staged readings. I was in 3 out of the 4 readings, which was good, but again, stressful. Not much time off. Which irritated both myself and those that I tried to make plans with. Now I know, just don't make plans, b/c your schedule's going to change anyway. Suck. Because I had some really good plans made, as did others.
So really, that was about it. I would have more to say, but for the most part it was work work work. There was quite a bit of bar time too, since there's nothing else to do there, and some poker. I managed to find at least some time for that. It was very rare for me to get more than 5 hrs of sleep for that last chunk of time, but that's mostly my own doing. It was wonderful though. Both Mollie and Marianne said I have a job there next summer if I want it, which I do. So provided nothing stupid gets in the way, I'll be there next summer too.
I adored the kids, and am going to miss them so much. They are wonderful. And there are some non-kids up there that I'm definitely going to miss too. The drive back to Denver was pretty odd, and the getting back to Denver was pretty surreal, for Tate and I both. My first glimpse of Denver through the mountains made me kind of panic and want to turn around. But it's good to be back. It's amazing to have my apt again, and my own space. And it's great to see my friends again. If only I could have both at once. But if I did, I would probably hate it.
I plan on going back and visiting soon when Falcon and I can get a 3 day weekend off for a bike ride. That would be sweet. And Tate and I want to go back to see what the winter's like. So we'll see.
So I'm back. Don't be offended if I don't see you right away, b/c I've been really needing hermit time. So it may take a little bit. But you'll see me. Have no fear.
