Good Idea, Bad Idea

Things that make me frustrated:

Not knowing schedules beforehand

Having prework to do and not getting my act together enough to do it

Making exams

Writing curricula

Writing (worse) "mapping"

My debit card, for some inexplicable reason, being denied, despite my recent frugality and feeding of the senseless beast two days ago!

Not being able to sleep

Being exceptionally cold downstairs on the cusp of summer

Many many lots houseguests...making it uncouth to walk around in one's skivvies.

Having definitely gained weight

Not being able to purchase for advanced HP3 tickets due to aforementioned stupid debit card issue

Lack of purple grapes at the supermarket

Putting my foot in my mouth

Having lots more curriculum to cover...and no time to cover it in

Writer's block (aka perfectionist editor)

Things that make me glad:

Having a weekend with Jules last weekend

Having the house to ourselves (kinda) these few days

Having cash on hand due to new allowance method which seems to be working and means I can still buy groceries when credit union decides to be a miserly idiot

Having cash to give to parental units

Grocery shopping - fun to be out and about and doing something

Revising Ostrung

Arx

Tales of the Twelve Kingdoms

My leetle choir

My stage managing triad

Beginning to orchestrate Thrushbeard

Realizing a song I had written for Twelve Dancing Princesses seems to actually be one of the few missing songs I needed for Thrushbeard

Coming up with poignant, dramatic, surprisingly pro-life and FWAH dialogue scenes for Thrushbeard whilst looking around the supermarket in vain for purple grapes

Victory chicken salad. Nuff said.

Listening to the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast and being deeply affected by it again

Beautiful music - mine and others

Clean laundry that I've actually already folded. Nyah.

My room at school

Pride in recent artwork for TotTK

Silly acronyms

Memorial Day/Graduation party and loooooong talks with fellow FUS-ers

Having TONS of projects

Having found peace

The rosary

Mood: My neck has a cramp
Music: "Is This Home" from Beauty and the Beast, not the best of all the songs, but the one that seems to have lodged in my brain. The ending bit is really good with: "Build higher walls around me"...and I forget the rest. "Nothing (laaaa) can (laaaa) hold me in!" FWAH. Je suis Belle.
Thought: I have missed having a real stage manager. This is so good. And...I only have twelve substantial rehearsals with my KMK kids! AAAAAAAAAUGH!
Thought Redux: MSND was good.
Savvy: Vote for Captain Sparrow!
