Not such a Manic Monday

Hello Everyone,

A little more rested. I am avoiding going to the grocery store right now. I thought it would be a great time to write on the blog.

Some exciting things have happened today. I must give back story for this to be impressive. At the end of  November my show Guys and Dolls closed. I sent back all of the materials in a box that weighed 38 lbs and 11 oz. at the beginning of December. When I returned to work from the holiday break I received an e-mail from the publishers that said the box showed up to the publishers empty. ALL of the materials were missing. The condition of the box was EMPTY. That is about 3 grand worth of scripts and orchestrations. Well, I filed my complaint with the US Postal Service, and today I found out that all but 8 librettos and 6 of the orchestra books were returned. I hope they find the rest, but 8 is better than 25 and 6 is better than 20, so things are better than they were.

Another happy thing was the scripts for the one act my theatre 4 class is doing came today. It is the little things that make me happy. Last Wednesday I got a new chair mat for my desk chair, and I did the happy dance in front of my English class. (They already think I am crazy, so I didn't care).

I also finished blocking my show. Now the real work begins. It opens in a month! Yikes!

Justin came home early with the Creeping Crud. He has been hacking up the most disgusting wads of grossness that ever existed. He was trying all weekend while chaperoning to get sick, and finally, he did. Okay, maybe he wasn't trying to get sick; he was trying to avoid getting sick. (Justin objected to the phrase "trying to get sick") :P

I am finding I have the intense need to read a really great book. I haven't really read anything for a while. I am suffering from withdrawls. I guess I better stop playing on the blog and go to the store. Ugh.

Good night!
