Guten tag gentle readers!

Yes, I am in a better mood today. Maybe because I slept like a log. Had interesting dreams too. One included a Russian mobster who owed me money. That's always fun. There were others but they are fading already. I do remember at one point thinking 'hey now this is a cool dream'. Regardless, even though I had less than six hours of sleep, I am doing okay.

Yesterday was a lot of things. I got a bunch of stuff accomplished including going to U-Haul and buying a box kit with 20 boxes, tape, etc. Picking up lunch for B. Packing all the books and a little bit of the kitchen. Getting newspapers for packing. Having lunch myself. Making dinner. B and I got into a little bit of a row before the show but she apologized for it later. We talked through the issue. I was packing up kitchen stuff and she was getting frustrated by the sheer quantity of stuff I have. When she moved last year it took her less than a car full of stuff to move across country. I have packed over 30 boxes already and its barely made a dent. She was a bit flustered because it reminds her where she comes from and some of the stuff I have is not the kind of stuff someone from that part of the world would buy let alone have the money to buy or even knew existed. Especially some of my kitchen stuff. Also add to that I have things that are collectibles or special occasion items, like my Franciscan plate set. I only use those on holidays or special events. Certainly not going to pull them out when it's a bunch of 20 somethings over to drink and play cards. She was also frustrated because her comment was 'I've never seen you use that!'. Well true. But the problem stems more from me living in an apartment and not having the space to use some of my stuff. If I had a real kitchen again maybe I would use more of these things. Regardless, we got through it and I promised to do my best to relieve of us anything I can.

We left for the show around 9:30. Show went well. It was a light tech crew but a full house. We did good on audience numbers this week which is great. We have missed quota 4 times already this year on our other theater. Two more and they will cancel us. That would be a huge blow. I am confident things will pick back up now that summer is here, but it did lead to the inevitable pre-show meeting about inviting all your friends, blah blah blah. It's the same thing every year. At some point she is going to realize most of us don't have other friends. Or the ones we do have won't go to a midnight movie. Nothing can be done about that.

Got through the show with only one minor injury to my right shin. I haven't checked it this morning but at 3 it was already starting to bruise up. Should look right purty this morning. Got home about 3:15 and was in bed by 3:30 and fell asleep around 4.

Busy week ahead. Training all week. Monday is a private class and the rest of the week is all public stuff. Today I want to do more in the kitchen and maybe throw some stuff out.
