Only 49 days left in this year and we go on to year 4. Despite all the recent turmoil, overall this has been a pretty good year. I will say that 8 out of 12 months were shared with someone special. That's a pretty damn good percentage in the end. 66% to be exact. If you can experience happiness 2/3 of the time, would you take it? I did and would again.
There's a lot going on in my head today. I was up and down quite a bit yesterday just due to work, issues with the kid, loneliness, etc. Wednesdays are my solo day and it struck me yesterday. Let me see if I can do this in chronological order to not miss anything.
Side note - I was accused again of censoring myself in this blog. Well, yeah. If I told you everything in every minute detail, you'd be disgusted, shocked, offended, surprised, and run away screaming. I need somethings to myself. I can't bear all for the world to see. Sorry, that's reality. There are some dark corners of my brain that deserve to stay dark people. Always remember, despite what you think, I can be a very not nice person sometimes. I'm not downright evil per se, but I have my moments of doing things on the fringe of acceptable and would rather keep the few friends I have left.
Okay back to yesterday. Took the kid to the train around 8 after already working for an hour. Got back, showered, kept working until around 2 something. At I think about 2:30 I had a conference call with my directors. For once it was the kind of call I would expect to have with them. We have a guest performer this weekend and the call was to go over some changes in blocking, some props we wanted to do different, and a couple things I need to remember to bring on Saturday. Perfect. This is the times when I remember why I like these people and enjoy being around them. They were light hearted, in a good mood, and happy. The call went smoothly and all was good. There was one incident from the last show I had to deal with, but it to was appropriate. The male part of the directors noticed some flirting going on between a few of the tech folks and it caused them to miss cues. I spoke to the four people in question and took a proper stance - any conversations, be they flirting or just idle chit chat should be curtailed during the performance. Plain and simple. Everybody got where I was coming from and there were no hurt feelings or problems.
Around 4 I decided I was done and headed out to have a little happy hour. The restaurant where my friend works has a pretty decent happy hour. This was also a test for me. Could I go out for a couple of drinks, hang out, not spend stupidly, and come back home in time to pick up the kid sober. Answer? Yes! I did it. I got there about 4:30 and left at 6:45, 15 minutes after happy hour was over. I spent $15 had three drinks and a grilled cheese sandwich. I was a little more buzzed than I wanted to be, but not so bad that I couldn't function. I was home by 7 and one of my friends stopped by to show me her new hair do. We talked until 9 when it was time for me to get the kid.
The kid had a rough morning. She is having problems with her sewing class and is really discouraged about things. She wants to speak to a counselor to see if she should change directions but no one was around. She felt better by the time I got her, but the day was pretty rough for her. I think if I said I was moving she wouldn't think twice about changing schools. We talked a little about things before I went off to bed.
Not a bad day. Nothing major, but also not bad. I had my moments where I missed TXGF, but I handled it and kept going. That's all I can do.
