lazy, rainy and clean!

well, at least i am clean. i waited for my conference call with angela, but decided the wait was over and took a shower. i sit on the couch in my scarily dirty apartment. it's usually clean, but not tidy, but right now it's downright icky. like a tornado ripped through it, as my dad says.

this morning i took a yoga workshop and when i got out i decided it was time to fix my internet woes. since i got internet just over a week ago it's been intermittent. so i gritted my teeth and called comcast and after they assured me that the modem was working just fine, i called belkin, the folks that made my router. and the firmware needed to be updated. i spoke with a nice gentleman who seemed to be in india and i just had to be patient. i could not understand him much of the time which was frustrating. it made me speak cleaner and slower, but there was definitely irritation. he was sassy to me a few times and i was certainly sassy back. i am dealing with an american product why am i speaking with technical support overseas? i mean i know it's cheaper to hire foreign workers. got it, but it's certainly hard to communicate. or at least it's challenging. so does this make me racist?

in any case, everything is good and my wireless is up and running and has a strong signal. yippee! so i would rather be online than vacuuming and doing the dishes. i have signed up to usher at the marsh in berkeley this evening and need to be there in an hour. however, i could probably whip out most of the vacuuming and about half the dishes before i need to get ready to go.

Gratitudes:
1. a great evening with Sharon and Wendy
2. smart and effective yoga teachers
3. cheese
4. leftover soup
5. rain boots

still no time

okay, so after trolley dances this weekend and a full day of catering yesterday i am beat. my to-do list is huge, but all i want to do is get into bed with a book. so i think i will. it's only 9:30 so if i read for a while and then hit the hay i could get up early in the morning. make some coffee and bust some filing out.

hey, here's some gratitudes:
1. catering leftovers
2. lots of work
3. a promising audition coming up
4. arts in the bay
5. warm lap kitties

Thursday check-in

It's been a bit crazy. In fact when I got my massage with Tommy last night he said that he saw lots of distracting energy around me yesterday and really encouraged me to take time out for me. I do feel good, but I guess there's something to this tired thing. I really do take care of others and allow myself to do come last sometimes. But again, I have bills to pay.

I have not had time or energy to write on the blog but really it has not crossed my mind. Is that strange? Perhaps a phase.

But I can still be grateful
1. sunny days
2. ice cream
3. internet in the house
4. billable hours
5. a solo piece with potential

What is this Blogging Business?

I have not blogged in a week and I really have not wanted to write. Or perhaps I have little to report. I am drinking a hot chocolate with a little bourbon and it's affecting me a little more than I thought it would. But I also realize that I am a super fast typist and I no longer have to look at the keyboard.

How cool is that?

Anyway, billing lots of hours with the organizations I work for. Not too much from the personal arts world, but I did get new headshots and have my showing at CounterPULSE a week from today. I met two musicians this week for Funny Bone and I am optimistic that one of them will work out. Fingers crossed.

I really should get cracking on the 'humor' definition, but I am not sure if the alcohol has hit me too much. Maybe that will be a good thing.

Hey how 'bout some gratitudes:
1. free yoga today
2. winning tickets for the Marsh Berkeley
3. musicians interested in my work
4. catering left overs
5. kitties to keep me warm
