I'm headed to Van tomorrow! YAy!
I may not blog while I'm home. I'm hoping to be out socializing with real live people and enjoying my city. I will check in again later in the week.
These few days off are well earned and much needed. Hopefully I'll be able to come back and charge through our last with some revived positivity and energy.
For you MBTI/ Naramata enthusiasts, this is where we're at: I'm living in the 'grip' (as are a few others I'm sure) and the ensemble is cycling through the 'control' phase of group dynamics. Everyone seems irritable. Perhaps with some rest I can restore some of my dominant functioning and then next week we will move into 'inclusion' and all be very polite.
Peace friends

scrubbing
So today has been filled with scrubbing windows, walls, fixing baseboards, cleaning out the fridge, all that sort of cleaning business you do before you move.
The floors will be the most work, but I'm not even gonna bother. My landlord will be showing the house next week and my roommate still has to finish moving out her stuff; so the floors would all be dirty again by the end of the month.
So mid afternoon, I'm taking a little break, thinking, 'I've got tons of time to get this done'
When it hit me.
This is my last weekend in this house!
Hooray!
I only hope and pray, and hope and pray some more, that all my stuffs are clean and that Monday's evacuation sees all the bugs left behind.
Later friends!

2 more weeks!
So here we are. 2 weeks left. Amazing!
And we're dark for most of this upcoming week; so it should be pretty easy.
Tomorrow is another understudy show, kind of. We have last year's SM subbing in for our other technician. I hope it doesn't turn into a show down. I'm really not that worried.
No show today. That's fine for me, gives me a chance to check some things off my list. I ventured out into the Loops today and it was sooooo windy! Seriously, crazily windy. It was the kind of wind where I actually had to stop and brace myself to avoid being blown over. It actually reminded me of living in Lethbridge. Wind is to Southern AB, what rain is to Vancouver, and it can drive people bonkers. I would take rain over wind any day, clearly I do.
See what boredom has reduced me to? I'm blogging about the weather!
Monday I'm headed to Van, with all my stuffs in a truck *thanks D : )
That means I can side step all the Greyhound, shipping, logistical stress and just get out of town.
I'm often convinced that the hard way is the right way and usually that it true. In this case however, I choose to believe that easier doesn't mean wrong, it just means easier. And some ease in my life sounds pretty good about now.
Onwards and upwards folks! see you soon!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
yAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAArgh!
that's what I have to say about today's show.
and here's my piece of wisdom from that.
Theatre in Canada is a close knit industry.
If you're lucky to last long enough to make a career of it, you will earn a reputation.
Make sure its a good one.

Ah yes!
I had forgotten that one of the pain in the a$$ parts of moving is having your landlord and a bunch of strangers tour around your house. So annoying.
In other news, tonight marks our big show count down! We have 10 shows left!
That may seem like a lot in a regular theatre run, but we started the season with a hundred and something. I only have to watch this show for 10 more hours and 50 minutes.
Later friends

Day off
Today is one of the last days off I'll be enjoying here in Kamloops.
I have one more full week of shows coming up, then a few days in van, a few more shows in the loops and then home again home again.
I anticipate I will be fairly busy in the next couple of weeks. I have shipping to organize, end of show business and paperwork to sort out, cleaning to do and travel logistics to organize. (The transitional stress has given rise to some disturbing dream activity, but swap the melting puppies for piglets suffocating in zip-lock. There is something seriously wrong with my imagination.)
Sort of the same crap I had to deal with at the beginning of the season, but with less emotional turmoil and a positive end result to look forward to. Though today I am feeling a bit like the woman in the 'Canadian heritage moment', "We'll never get there!"
I can do this.
I have my master moving list complete. (if you've ever had the joy of moving cmax style, you know the master list makes for a smooth and organized move.)
One problem I've come to is how to move with bags and rubbermaid bins rather than boxes. Greyhound and I are trying to work it out. ( unfortunately my luggage didn't survive the great bug infestation of 2011; so I literally only have tupperware to travel with).
Also problematic is the recent turn in the weather. In August, when I did my decontamination shopping, I only picked up summer items, and flip-flops also seemed like an easy and sanitary choice. However, flip-flops are not great fall/ rainy weather shoes and I have been FrEeziNg this week. So today, I picked up a pair of little boys canvass slip on shoes to tide me over till I make it home. (when buying children's shoes I generally opt for the little boy options cause somehow wearing little girl runners just seems ridiculous to me.) The new shoes should help. My beloved sweaters however, will simply have to remain plastic wrapped until I return to Van.
And before I sign off, here are this week's movie recommendations from Cmax. (Yes this is the first and likely last week I'll be offering movie recommendations. And Yes, I've watched enough of them this week to be able to pick out favourites. Its one of the few ways I can occupy my time in my barren, bug infested house; so cut me some slack. Beside these two were quite good!)
- At home by myself with you- a cute and quirky Canadian OCD love story.
- Fat head- the anti-vegetarian, thought provoking rebuttal to the documentary 'Supersize me'
K! Later friends!
