I did it. 30 poems for 30 days. It became so habitual that I just turned on the computer with the express intention of writing my nightly poem before I realized it wasn’t necessary. I mean, I am still going to try to write on a regular basis, daily, even, if possible, but it was really comforting to be able to know exactly what my responsibilities were with regard to writing before I even got to the blog page. Some important things to know about the month of May:
1. The opera is coming up next week. I’m nervous and excited. I have worked harder on this show than I have ever worked on a show outside of Stonehill before. I am waking up in 5 hours to get to the wholesale flower market in time to buy lilys and sticks to make the rest of the props. Then off to a morning rehearsal followed by making the puppet (at the Sagers no less) and then probably running more opera errands before falling into an exhausted sleep to get up for church, set load in, rehearsal and costume fittings. Forget about an actual weekend! I really hope everyone comes out to see it, so all my hard work will not be in vain. www.juventasmusic.com for tickets.
2. I am back on the diet and exercise bandwagon after a brief roadblock of broken foot and opera business. I am tempted to launch into more details, but honestly, who cares. A diet is just that- a cutting out of things you love in favor of better health and happiness. I could use a little more of both, so we’ll see how it goes. Get thinner- take two!
3. I would like to go on a vacation to Aruba this fall- does anyone have any advice or potential good things to look out for in the world of vacationing to said island? I need to start saving now, so when the time comes for us to book, I’ll be ready.
That’s all for now, my eyes are closing on me, so it must be sleepiface time!
Ever Virgin.
