such a very busy day, today. i finally sat down and took some photos. i wish you could have been there; the weather was perfect.
this was my view from where i was sitting. over on that chair, that’s where i was, mostly, with my journal, my beverage, my phone:
i like being outside so much, because there’s all that nature everywhere. here are some vibrant irises (are they irises? i think that’s what they are. when i was little, i assumed that i’d just know the names of flowers and trees and plants of all kinds, like dad does):
i saw this family of geese, which is what initially made me sprint up the hill to fetch my camera. by the time i got back, they were kind of far away, but i think you can make them out.
nature. everywhere.
rehearsal tonight – oh boy. kate arrives tomorrow night, and hopefully that will mark the beginning of MANY THINGS HAPPENING.
i’ve been memorizing my lines as i drive around. it’s fun to do the french accent as i drive. my favorite line is “i want to stay true to you.” but with the accent, the “true to you” part always makes me laugh, i can’t explain why, you’ll have to come see it.
have you gotten your “wicked” tickets yet? and another one for me? when i haven’t been working on my lines (i only have a handful), i’ve been listening to the wicked soundtrack. especially the song “defy gravity,” which is my favorite. Randy got me a t-shirt that says “popular on it;” it’s a very funny song that glinda sings. but really, i’d love to have a “defy gravity” t-shirt. i read a bunch of articles about the show that Gil brought to me. one of them talked about how teenage girls and young women really love the show, because it’s empowering, and the Wicked Witch is such a great role model.
that’s exactly how i feel. defy gravity. I’d like to do that, someday. is it just a coincidence that the most frequent dream i have is of flying?
clearly, clearly, i WILL become the wicked witch of the west.
someday.
next lifetime?
no, i’m not going to focus on thinking about other lifetimes, i’m going to think about this one right now. since i’m already right in the middle of it.
i didn’t make any progress today on thinking about a career i could retire from.
i did go swimming, though. so that’s something.
and that’s the reason i’m so very tired right now, and am DEFINITELY going to go to bed early.
here’s one more photo, i’d like to be out on a sailboat:
ok then,
grace very tired.
