utensils are stealing my ideas

lots going on, but the usually the only time i have to sit down and type up stuff is after a rehearsal and i'm a bit wiped after all that happens.

in case you were looking for excuses....

a snapshot of how things have been lately: saturday i found myself unable to go anywhere because friday night my garage door jammed six inches from the ground and would not close and when it tried to correct itself and go back up, my automatic opener ripped out of the door. and of course my car was in the garage, so i couldn't get it out. i finally unplugged the thing and using old-fashioned elbow grease, got the door back open. and so far i've been unsuccessful at finding anyone to help me, either with the door or with the opener. guess it's back to ye olden days of (gasp) manually opening my garage. joy.

friday was the third annual mason film festival. we doubled in size as far as films (eight this year) and had nearly five times the audience we've had in the past (over 50). sad moment: i was unable to show one of the submitted films because it did not meet the PG-13 criteria by dropping the f-bomb several times in the first couple of minutes. luckily i found it before i showed it. hated to cut it, but as a school sponsored event, i could not take the chance, especially with all that's been going on in the district lately. but even with that, the films submitted were wonderfully enjoyable. now if we can continue to build on this, i think we'll have something special in the coming years.

so tomorrow i'm only teaching half a day because i have a doctor's appointment. yes, after five years, i am (ooh, wait for it) officially (you know it's coming) tired of my insomnia (ah, i slay me). so i'm going to see if my doctor can recommend a sleep study so i can see if there's something physically wrong with me keeping me from getting a good night's sleep. here's hoping. i have a window of opportunity next week with the special teacher's work day that will allow me to take part. i suppose i could always go during the school week and be late to school, but i'd rather not have to worry about doing anything the next day, knowwhatimean?

heading up to columbus this weekend for our delayed trip to visit jeremy's grave. be good to go up there again. will get my thurman fix, which has been a long time coming. just wish i could stay up there longer - need to come back to cincy that night of our rescheduled MST3K party. so a busy, busy saturday. and if all goes well, i should have no grading to worry about. there's something new.

ok, think i'm going to try and get some sleep. last couple of nights i have been less than successful, unable to fall asleep, waking up exhausted in the middle of the night, only able to get out of bed by sheer force of will. now you see why i'm going to the doctor tomorrow. hope i get some good news.
