windelinaAgainst all odds and inclinations, here I am at work.
What's weird is that I wanted to be here. Mostly out of spite. "Hah! I've got a ton of sewing to do and a deadline to finish it by and nothing to do at work. But I'll show you! You tell me I have an attendance problem?! Suck it!"
Or something like that.
The Dry Tech on Friday was...interesting. Mostly short. The set mostly done. Lights, no. Sound, no. Still, it was useful and reassuring.
I still need to hear from the kids how Saturday went. (Josh called a tech work day on Saturday to finish the platform and paint stuff.)
I, meanwhile, was at the Board Retreat which was - as usual - fun and laid back. Despite some initial worries that we would not find the funny for our sketches, we eventually did. Mwahaha!! We also found the hot tub, loads of snack foods, and a good steak dinner and loads of conversation. We were actually very torpid and sleepy this year.
Sunday afternoon, I cut things out. Then I got a phone call from one of my kids about TechTard being a dork - again. (They were having a tsunami benefit concert, which has been advertised for weeks. And Techtard waits till the day of to make noises about shutting things down at 6pm because they didn't have permission to be there that late. My eyes are still rolling.) Then I went to the 90's to do my drag back-up dancer thing and ended up staying to watch the pageant, against all better judgment. The eye-splitting headache from the loud music and the smoke eventually forced me home, where I stayed all Monday. And after sleeping off the headache, I sewed.
First dress rehearsal was perhaps the most painful rehearsal ever endured in the history of high school theatre. My god. They got the browbeating afterwards with alot of horrific reminders of what Friday night will be like if they don't learn their lines. *sigh* And about 60-70% of the fixes showed up, so I need to get all those fixes back up there. The good thing was that the kids - when asked - knew that they had reverted to "pre-fix" stuff.
So, I got in the car, called Monte and asked him to make some mac-n-cheese, and cried for a bit. Got home and ate and went to bed for a few hours before getting up to sew.
I have a lot of sewing to accomplish. Maybe my illness will make a return here and I'll need to leave early...
