random is as random does
Jan. 25th, 2016 07:43 pmAl got stuck in Austin Texas over the weekend due to the East Coast Snowstorm closing down Atlanta where he was supposed to change planes. He made it home yesterday, and it is nice to have him home again. He's been traveling a lot lately.
Alice has heard from Mass College of Liberal Arts out to the west of us that she's accepted - I think her safety school and her default school and her preferred school are all UMass Amherst, and she hasn't heard from them yet. I can't imagine they'd turn her down, but random is random and you really never know what is going to happen.
Today was hrder than necessary. I slept badly and woke up too early and my bed was gritty and noisy and the wrong temperature and I wound up awake and vertical an hour earlier than I meant to. It means I can do a long slow stooge about the house getting awake and organized, but it also means I crash and burn at 5 pm and never actually get to do anything after supper.
I feel like I am still struggling with post-dream issues. The dreams were not horrifying at the time, but one had my father rowing out to sea and leaving a note telling us not to call the Coast Guard. Within the dream I was trying to explain to my brother that my dad was done. He's tired, he's old, he's not sure why he's still around, and he would be Ok with being done. Which is a truth, but not necessarily one I am willing to face right now when outside of a dream. That one required me to call my brother AND father to make sure everyone is Ok. They were fine.
The musical is nervewracking.
The set is going together, structurally it is more solid than last year, better engineering on my part.
there are more moving parts, and they are bigger than anything I had to make before.
I still have not figured out/decided how I want to do the cardboard skylines
I have a new large artwork underway, fixing some of the issues I had with the Yooge brown Laced Thing. This will also be Yooge and brown and laced, just.... better.
