Wow. So I guess I fell off the radar there entirely. No post for over a month. Sorry 'bout that. Things have been crazy here. Shows closing. Preproduction for new shows. New day job. Holidays. Traveling.
So, recap:
1. New job.
Nothing too exciting. Receptionist for a real estate office. The major thing I have learned is that I find real estate to be incredibly boring. I see how it can be exciting for someone else (particularly the person doing the selling,) but not for me. But it's a day job. I go in, do my time, then go home and forget about it. Not what I want to do for the rest of my life, but a decent way to pick up a paycheck while having plenty of time and brain power for other things.
2. Holidays.
Christmas was nice. We went to The Boy™'s parents' house for the weekend. I was sick, but it didn't prevent me from relaxing and having a good time.
We're spending New Year's Eve with friends. I'm looking forward to that, too.
3. Traveling.
First, there was the aforementioned trip to Downeast Maine. After New Year's, we're going to NY to my sister's. It's Dad's 60th next week, and the whole fam damily is coming to celebrate. I'm also looking forward to that. Haven't seen Parents, Sister or Nephews since June. And haven't seen my brothers or their families in two years. It'll be a good time.
4. Shows.
A tiny bit of a break right now. Detritus starts rehearsal at the end of the month, then I'm pretty much booked through August. This is not a complaint.
5. Derby.
Still going great! We've added Tuesday practices and are now practicing three times a week. I went up north a few weeks ago and had a great scrimmage with a couple of other teams. We're planning another bout this winter, hopefully at home. I'm looking forward to the Great Derby Social at the end of the month and the Triple D weekend in June.
That's my life n a nutshell right now. I'm home recovering from strep throat (aka Pixie Plague, as the entire derby team has had it.) I'm hoping it's gone before we leave for Sister's.
If I'm not back before the weekend, Happy New Year to you, Dear Readers. May your 2012 be fantastic.
