Temperamental Tuesday

Traditionally, Tuesdays have been slammed - staff meetings, band practice - but today is different. It’s still crazy busy - just different. There are deadlines and errands, and since the “office” is spread out among the staff’s homes, it’s a little more time consuming to sign letters, etc. - someone’s gotta get in the car and drive. And since the staff meeting took place yesterday, there’s no meeting today, so…

…I guess I had gotten used to one kind of busyness, and it’s hard to get used to this kind.

Plus, it’s freezing (I know it’s probably in the mid sixties, but I still have a wool sweater and scarf on today!). The cold always makes me move slower…I just wanted to spend the day sitting by the fire in my bathrobe - but…it just wasn’t meant to be.

After car-line, we’re headed out to Moss Park - we’re working on our “C3 Day at Moss Park” - I think I’ll take my camera…the red eyed cranes out there are gorgeous.

I do have the 5K that I inadvertently agreed to “run” on my mind, too. Last night, I walked the distance of the race…I wasn’t able to try to run any of it because, well…it was still light outside and my artistic ego can’t take that kind of humiliation…

But, tonight I’ll just try to walk it faster. We better get a treadmill, or I may never run it until the actual day of the race - maybe the race will take place in the dead of night, and there will be a city-wide power failure, and everyones’ camera batteries will spontaneously go dead…maybe. (I can dream, can’t I?) Oh, how did I ever get myself into this!!!

Okay, so this has just gone from “Temperamental Tuesday” to “I think I’m gonna have a panic attack and hyperventilate and die Tuesday”, but maybe I’m being a tiny bit dramatic…maybe.

I’m gonna go now before I inadvertently agree to any more torturous activities…

maybe I should call this “Drama Queen Tuesday” - it’s my blog, I can call it whatever I want.

peace out…

Chasing the Sabbath

…okay, so I just turned on public television to see Rick Steves twirling around in the Alps like Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” - mildly disturbing!!

This Saturday has been much like many others - I feel like I’m running, or at least jogging - racing toward the “finish line” of a reasonable bedtime - desperately trying to get everything done so that tomorrow morning goes well - or at least has no major catastrophes.

I wonder, “Is this how the Jewish people felt racing sundown before the Sabbath when they could do no more work?” It may seem like a random thought, but that’s nothing unusual for me…

One of the first things I said this morning - after asking what time it was (I slept from 10 to 7 - yippee!) - was, “I get these thoughts and ideas in my head - they roll around and around and try to make me crazy...so, if I don’t blog or write, then I’ll lose it.” But, I rarely have time to blog on Saturday, these days - and fewer people read on the weekend anyway, so I just have to hold it in until I get a moment to write…

…so, now’s my moment, and I have nothing…just random ramblings. And soon it will be off to the races again. Any minute, there will be a buzzer, a call, a crash - and I’ll be off.

But, tomorrow will be smoother for all of my craziness today - I’m just trying to pave the way for a great Sunday morning (which will be here at the crack of dawn)…

There’s the doorbell, so I better run!

Peace out. :-)

Sleepless in Super Wal-Mart-Ville

So, I have to go to bed at a decent time tonight!!!

This “night owl” is turning over a new leaf!

Each night I act like I’m on vacation - not an adult with adult responsibilities…

And every morning at 5:30 or so, I feel like…well, horrible.

The training at the theater went well - so many people…it was wonderful! Then we had to pick up random supplies at Wal-Mart. (…I couldn’t find gaffers tape, though.)

Then, at the check-out Byron was saying “what’s wrong?” and he sounded like he was in a tunnel and with that weird slow-motion voice…I couldn’t feel my face, and everything looked wavy…

I was able to sit down before I hit the floor - How embarrassing!! The man on the bench next to me kept giving me weird looks - but he didn’t look that hot either!

Anyway, I’ve spent the last few hours folding and packing up t-shirts - the new “LOVE WINS” ones are so cool - and I’m still feeling strange…

…so, I am going to bed at a decent hour, even if it kills me - it might because I can’t stand going to sleep! My motto has always been, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead…or in the morning…why waste a perfectly good night by sleeping!?” (Man, I’m wordy - even in my mottoes!)

But, that’s not a very adult attitude, I know…

…especially if I don’t want to cause a raucous at the Super Wal-Mart!

So, tonight I’ll think peaceful thoughts, listen to New Age music, and tell myself in a very soothing voice, “You’re feeling sleepy…very, very sleepy…”

…and maybe, just maybe it will work.

If not, the people in the front of the theater might want to keep one eye open as they worship, and keep their ears open for someone yelling, “Man down…I mean, way-too-tall-blonde down in front!!”

I probably should wear my zebra print jacket so they can see me coming and get out of the way.

I’m gonna go now and begin thinking sleepy thoughts.

(Even though I still have to wash laundry, highlight my hair, bedazzle…everything, and wash my purse dog (he got into something stinky today…)…maybe I’ll sleep on Monday!)

Sweet dreams-ish…peace.
