things are looking up

well, it's thursday and I am not sure where the week went. i have been putting many things off and I am finally starting to tick off the list in my head. for such an organized person, i am not being very organized right now. two years later, i am still in transition.

however, there are some good things to report. i have an appointment with one of the local temp agencies. apparently it was unclear that i had moved from davis. so the woman who runs the agency will be sending some proficiency exams and then we are meeting next wednesday.

yesterday, i had a busy day in the city. i finally went back to the hall of justice and scheduled a hearing for my moving violation citation and today i took photos of the parking spot where i got a ticket in berkeley. here's to the end of all tickets. ever.

no performance gigs upcoming, but i do have 2 general auditions - one for shotgun players and another for cal shakes. let's hope they amount to auditions for specific shows either this season or next. i saw jasson after my name is asher lev on sunday and he said he is going to put me on the reading list of shows in development. unfortunately their entire season is cast so it may be a while until i get on stage again.

in terms of teaching, i have been doing a few workshops for epiphany. they are a little crazy and more difficult to do by myself than when i did them with kim. i do think their education component will be expanded and i will have a greater role, but it's not going to be for a while.

the biggest snafu, my ankle, still hurts. all of the walking and teaching i did yesterday did take a toll. i am not looking forward to this weekend and all of the walking with trolley dances. however, my appointment with the orthopedist is on tuesday and i am excited - giddy even - for someone to tell me EXACTLY what's wrong with me.

i have not really treated myself very much and am waiting to do some dinners and get a massage and mani/pedi until i have money coming in. however, i think a little treat will do wonders for my personal morale. i just don't think an ice cream cone is going to cut it.

But here are some gratitudes:
1. lovely weather in the bay
2. positive people around me
3. chocolate
4. art and culture close by
5. loving kitties
6. possibilities
