In Limbo


Some detail work I did a couple of months back.

Today was an inbetween day. Not good but not bad either. We got up earlier than I would have liked and tidied up, did the washing, put all the recycling rubbish into the car to be gotten rid of on our way to my friends house. I actually felt quite well during all that time. We had lunch (rice with fresh tomatoe and pizza flavoured Tofu) and then left. My friend had made me a cup of cappucion (as per my instruction) which I had in record time. I then left the kids at her house and dashed of to work (still doing make-up for the theater production of "The Hobbit"). Things started to go down hill from there. Now because I have an assistent doing the make-up with me we Today was an "in between" day. Not good but not bad either.

Now because I have an assistant doing the make-up with me we had said that two hours should be more than enough for the dwarfest, Beorn and Bilbo. But... she called in sick. So I had 12 people to do in two hours and two of them take about 25 minutes on their own, each!
But, I can handle stress! At least as long as it is required of me. I am very good at keeping myself together when is needed but as soon as the pressure has gone I start to shut down. I then usually need a cool down period. On the way back to my friends house I almost ran over a roller balder. It was twilight and the stupid person was in the middle of the road, wearing gray and no light or reflectors!!!
Got to my friends who had made dinner (rice with sweet and sour chicken).
After dinner I sorted out her computer, got rid of all the junk and unused pro grammes and files and set up an email account for her (she is a bit of a technophobe). So by the time we got home it was 9.30 pm. Kids went straight to bed and I talked to Simon on the phone, talked to my mum, checked my emails and now I am in so much pain I don't think I can go to sleep. I am also having real problems with my left hand so I am typing this thing one handed (not fun!). I think I am gonna have to take a painkiller as I have to work again tomorrow and I really need some rest. Bummer...
Oh but something good has happened yesterday.
My older one has qualified for the German Nationals in Irish Dancing.
Now all I have to do is find the money to send her there...!
Also I am now in negotiations with an Artist Agency. They want to sign me!!!! :-)
