A full weekend at home

I have been back in Regina since Thursday and it has been non-stop until today. I had three days of prep at the theatre during the days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After each of those work days I was off to family dinners - mom's side, dad's side and then Lorne and Andrea.

Today, however, I have nothing to do. I brought my knitting and have been watching TV and knitting. I pulled out the ole piano books and played for a while. Now I am at the computer. I had planned on bringing some editing but left the laptop at home for Logan to have something to do while everything is packed.

But only a couple days until move day. I am very excited. Which could be affecting my restlessness today. If I were home there would be plenty to do.

Countdown

I see from the countdown to possession that we have ten days to go. But sadly I only have two until I am off to Regina. I feel like it has been forever since we got the call saying the house was ours. And yet - I find it hard to believe that I leave two days and have to leave it all to Logan.

As you can see

we have done alot of packing. The kitchen is almost all packed up. All of our electronics are done. I am doing laundry right now - will pack my bag for Regina - and then will pack away the rest of my clothes. That leaves under the bathroom sink, and the necessities in the kitchen. He should be fine!

I am so excited about the house that I can hardly contain myself. If it were me home alone in our new house for nearly two months I think that there would be a lot of running around and screaming. That thought was brought about by all of the noise you get with apartment living. Our building is fairly soundproof. But this morning it sounded like someone was hammering down hardwood floors. That and the stupid Canadian Geese that fly up from the river beside our building to the roof of the building next door. They make the worst, loudest noise in the morning and evening - right around the time you are in bed.

I also started my taxes today. As a contract worker though I have to make sure that I get all of the paperwork/T4's mailed to me. I am missing one T4 and the statement of union dues. AGH. Looks like I will be taking it home with me.

Beauty and the Beast

Enchanted April closed last Sunday the 2nd. I fly to Regina on Thursday the 20th. Therein lies the problem with being a contract worker, sometimes there are weeks between contracts. This time I was a little more concerned because of the house and our bills going up very soon. To solve this I pushed for myself at Theatre Calgary.

The show after Enchanted April was the very large musical "Beauty and the Beast". There is a child in the show that plays Chip and he requires a Chaperone. The theatre waited a bit to long and all of the people that usually do it - or have done it before were busy. So I pushed that they should hire me for the two weeks that I am still in town. The Technical Director was all in favor and helped make that happen.

So I have been hanging out with Thomas for a week and a half. The show is huge! Until today we have been spending five hours in the afternoon rehearsing and then a four hour show call in the evening. (The show came from Edmonton and Thomas is the only new person in the cast). I stay with the show until Sunday and have three days off until I fly to Regina.
