THURSDAY

Although I had had a problem with sleeping, I got up at 7:00 and followed my usual routine. (Wow, I got Wordle on two; word was  "split.") More exciting (😅), before breakfast, I dusted and washed the hard floors, and washed and dried the scatter rugs. 

I finished the rhyme I'm giving to all the cast and crew members. It's not the greatest, but I didn't have much time. Here it is: 

B oy, did we have fun

A cting bright and breezy,

C onsidering the cast,

K illing it was easy;

S uccess! We were happy

T o be there

A t a venue sweet and fair,

G rasp this, no matter what your age,

E verybody on our stage:

B e aware the future's bright,

E ven though the end's in sight,

D on't forget this, cast and crew,

L ots of laugher that we knew,

A nd please accept this mention, too:

M y everlasting thanks to you!

It's mediocre, but I didn't have much time and I think they'll like it. Dammit, I can't find the BB program, so will have to get one tonight; I want to be sure to include everybody. My new printer is supposed to get here today and I didn't want to take a chance it wouldn't, so I asked Suzanne to print me up two copies. She did and I packed my lunch, then bused to Office Depot to have thirty copies made. I'll put personal notes on each one and will decorate them separately. Of course, I won't be able to do all of them, as I have to get a program tomorrow, so I can include everybody--sometimes I feel as if I have an actual job.

I decided to eat in the middle, instead of near Office Depot, so took my lunch out and enjoyed it. By that time, it was 4:30 and this was only my second meal of the day. I guess you could call it "dunch" or "linner." 

Ellen called and we decided she'd come on Monday instead of tomorrow to set up the printer. I'll then go back to her place and stay overnight. Stella called to tell me she's also feeling stressed out, with a lot stuff going on. Her son, Joshua, who lives in Spain, will be in on Saturday, but will first stay with a friend in Burbank before he gets to Stella's. She said she'd let me know when he gets there and we'll meet him for lunch.

So the show is on tonight and tomorrow, then we go dark. I'm actually looking forward to having some down time, so I can address some of my long-neglected items.  

A bright note: I slept well and feel perkier today. However, I know I've gained and that's depressing. Hope to get back on the straight and narrow soon.
