RTBTCKI: Well 5 AM is Better than 3 AM edition

Posted By on June 19, 2014

Went to bed at 12:30 and woke up at 5:00. Couldn’t go back to sleep and didn’t want my thrashing around to wake my husband I got up and puttered about the house doing things that needed to be done. Caroline got up at her usual 6:30 and started her morning routine.

Looks like rain today which is going to put a crimp in some of my plans for the day but not terribly so.

I am so proud of Caroline for all the hard work she put into Mrs. Petersen in Bye Bye Birdy. She learned her lines, hit her marks, and didn’t bump into the furniture. But she did more than that. She took a part she was unsure about playing and made it her own. She got her laughs and got applause for her scenes. She’s got comic chops that I didn’t know she had. Afterwards all the adults made it a point to tell her how wonderful she was and asking her if she was taking up acting as a profession. I think her classmates learned something about her as well as the adults at the school.

Also everyone loved her coat that I made and had I known that we were never going to see the dress, I would have done it differently.

I got an offer at SE:NYCC that I may have to take up. It ties into Dragon Con and what I want to do for the puppet slam. It would be some good exposure and who knows what it might lead to. But I have to do some serious leg work and find some other puppeteers in the NYC area.

I have been watching the World Cup and enjoying the matches. The officiating is not as screwed up as I thought it was going to be. Couple of do or die matches today.

Got two things behind me that have been bothering me so that’s good.

Caroline is watching her way through Buffy. She just started season 3. It is interesting to watch it with someone who hasn’t seen it before.

Off to start the rest of the day.

I am grateful that Caroline proved her acting abilities so well.
