Hello again, my faithful reader(s?). I realize that it has been several weeks since last I blogged…I am in complete awe of those who are able to do it on a semi-daily basis. Where do you find the time? Or maybe it’s a question of dedication and discipline, which to this blog I have neither. That’s OK though…there won’t be a test.
Today I spent most of the day trying to be motivated and clean my house. I’m doing pretty well…I updated my website, paid some bills and was able to get the bottom of several looming piles of stuff in my bedroom. I also am almost done putting away 50 pounds of laundry which piled up in devastating numbers while I was in production week.
I’m also trying to force-feed my cat at every second which takes an inordinate amount of time! I’ve tried trickery, such as lacing the mushy food with catnip (marginally successful) and also getting really really excited about the gross smelling pellets that are supposed to be the wonderfood of the year. Alas, nothing is a cure-all, but he’s doing better. If he doesn’t gain enough weight in the next two weeks, we have to do an endoscopy, and lord knows I don’t have the money for that! So I am in the kitchen every hour petting Jethro, telling him he’s a good kitty and then shoving a fistful of pellets down his throat. OK, that might be an exaggeration, but you get the point.
Yesterday while trying to gear up for a motivated day of cleaning and organization, I managed to watch several million hours of bad TV (coated with a few good here and there). I watched a horrible movie on ABC family called Ice Princess. Ice-skating + Disney dreams = tears every time. Then I happened to catch Eastern Promises, while violent, was quite good. And there was a sick fight in a sauna with naked Viggo and two leather daddies. Let’s just say I hope he’s a grower. This was all followed up by a two hour diversion of Big Momma’s house. Mildy entertaining, but I’m not gonna be a fan of the franchise. And all the while I managed to crank out several gallons of Butternut squash soup. It’s pretty good, but lacking a certain je ne sais quois…
Well, I suppose I should talk about what I’ve been doing for the past two months, but alas, there is so much I can say nothing other than I had a great time doing Il Trovatore, was very glad that everyone came to see it, I miss all the people I was used to seeing everyday, and now I am getting ready for the future. I think that’s about it!
