Most everyone else was headed out tonight for a "wind-down" drink after rehearsal and notes, but noooooooooo, I had to come straight home and grab a shower and then comb through my hair and now have to sit aroundfor about 20 minutes and let it get dry enough that I won't soak my pillow tonight. 12 freaking hours on my feet today - at leat we have tomorrow night off, though I've gotta work out tomorrow, even though my poor feet are KKILLING me right now... I *knew* I shouldn't have been on a stoll for all of Rockin' - been too long since I had a spot-heavy show like this (I've got about 50 or 60 cues)and was on a platform where I really couldn't sit down and run it, but instead only get a few 2-minute time frames where I can rest my feet. I know it'll get better once tech is over, but next Thursday (first paying audience, though opening is Saturday) feels like it's 50 years from now. Ok, done ranting & being a whiny-butt crybaby.

My WBCB problem today: The doctor needs more blood before they will do the biopsy, so off to the lab I go on Weds. to make a deposit of 4 more tubes. Yecchh. I can't go to the lab tomorrow, because I have a dental appt. I chipped the porcelain on the crown of the tooth I just had the root canal redo on. Oh, I'm having a MRI done on my right knee 'cause I can't walk without pain. It just seems to never end. There, I feel better. Well, a little bit maybe.

I'm irritated because 1) I'm going to WDW that whole week and I KNOW I've told him about it multiple times because I've told EVERYONE. And 2) because in the 2+ years I've lived here the only other time my dad has ever come to visit me was when he brought another lady friend with him to Disneyland last year. I mean its cool he's going to Disneyland but can't he ever just come to visit me and not because his girlfriend wants to go to Disneyland? I feel like an after thought.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Whoa. You must be mad. You spelled everything right. Are you gonna be okay? Alright, joking aside. That does suck and I'm sorry you're being treated that way. I'd be irked too. I wish there were something I could do to make you feel better.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka I know how you feel, Tiggirl. My dad does stuff like that to me all of the time. I've given up trying to have anything but a cordial relationship with him.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this. It hurts.
Originally Posted By Tiggirl Its an odd habit of mine to spell things correctly when I'm upset. LOL! I'm not too sure how that works. Thanks for the kind words guys. One more quick vent.... He works for an airline so he can fly down to visit me for free and he gets 5 weeks of vacation now. Grrr. On the bright side (am I allowed to look at the silver lining here? LOL) he HAS given Mark and myself tickets to visit him twice so I guess I can't be too mad. But I can still be a little mad.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Yeah, you can a little bit. I am sooo tired. It's pathetic! I usually get a nice dose of adrenaline when I have to get up early and am doing something fun but today, not so much. I am so sleepy. I really do want to whine about it.

The floor underneath is all ripped up and part is open to the garage below, where we live. Of course my expensive Swiss sewing machine was right under the waterfall. This remodel is giving me an ulcer.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost OK, I can't help it, I must know. Why is an electrician putting in a skylight instead of a carpenter? A skylight is just a window placed in the roof. Did I miss something?
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost Alright...so he wired up the motor that operates the window...gotcha! Sorry for the confusion.
Originally Posted By threeundertwo The real question is why the heck were they putting water on the roof?!?!? I think it was the stucco guys. I hate the stucco guys. They are very messy. And today they were using my bathroom instead of the porta potty. I'm fit to be tied.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Waahhh. I want a skylight that opens with a remote control. How cool is that! We looked at a house once where pretty much the whole bedroom ceiling was a skylight. The realtor told us that the *cover* was actually a garage door. You'd never a guessed it. It was a really cool effect. It sounds kinda cheesy but it was so not.
