Bits and Bobs
Sprinkles of what's been going on in my adventurous life:
Leanne went and got terribly sick on Monday. Terribly, terribly sick. So, I sucked up my nurse genetics (thanks, mom!) and took care of her as best I could. At the same time I went through all my clothes (and holy god do I have a lot of clothes!) and decided what to take to Europe. It was not easy. Then I did the same with Leanne's clothes while she slipped in and out of consciousness. I don't care if I never see another piece of clothing for awhile. Which isn't my way of saying that I am walking around in the nude, but that packing ain't fun, especially when you must fit 9 weeks of stuff into a backpack.
What else? I hung out with Leanne's new boy-focus. He is new new as of last week and he and I bonded easily as he is a website designer. He is also very young. Then, on 2 hours of sleep I drove to Moose Jaw and have been running around like a nuthead for the last 48 hours. Cut my hair. It grows like a weed so I had to hack it off quite a bit as I won't see the inside of a hair salon until at least April. Packed (yup, there it is again) my car so full of presents and luggage and perogies that we may get pulled over by the cops tomorrow when we head to Calgary. Have talked to and missed and dreamed about and smiled from ear to ear because of Jax (give me another couple of weeks and I will be ready to tell you all about him, for real. Once it has become more real for me...). I have booked a fabulous room on Pender Island for New Year's Eve to stay in after I am done singing with TWT and am currently learning and rehearsing my audition stuff for Chemainus. Life is full. Full and fluffy and tasting a lot like cotton candy.
Next time I write I will have little girls crawling all over me. The weather has taken a spring-like turn here in the prairies and the time is, as usual, flying by...
So, this is what happiness feels like. Part of me wants to look straight at Jordan and scream - SO THERE. Guess there will still be more healing to do on in that regard for 2007. LOL.
Happy and safe travels to all and any of you that will be sitting in planes or driving in cars or tobogganing down hills in the next four days. Enjoy it. In a blink of an eye it will all be over. Don't let the stress get you down. Or sick. Declare your own happiness. Choose butter tarts and Joy. Nap. Wrap gifts creatively. Burst into song when the cashier says Merry Christmas. Proclaim that kindness is your religion and make love if you have someone to make love to...
If not, then do like me and purchase a MacBook.
