Practice practice practice

You'd think we would finally get it right , but with so much illness and absenses, we are still a couple of weeks behind and the play is on Thursday! We will have the set for the first time today, so I know the rehearsal will be a bit ragged as we try to find our positions. Not to mention the fact that we can no longer see what is happening on stage and will have to depend on cues to make our entrances. So many of our cues are visual so we have people back stage with "peep holes" to push us on. We had a few days off this week, because the theatre was in use, and I think the break was needed. I was getting pretty tired. Our snow is finally starting to melt, but we still have 4 foot drifts in our yard. A friend from Glenella (north of us) says all of his snow is gone already. We should be so lucky. Last year Jim planted the potatoes on May 1st. This year we still can't see the garden.! Now that the fields are starting to clear off the deer seem to be moving back. There have been 11 in the field next to us this week. They don't even move when we drive by... just lie there and stare at us. We are finally starting to get caught up at work so we can relax a bit. People are so use to the prompt service we have now that they phone and complain when they don't get their searches the next day. They used to have to wait a week! Time to shower and get ready for rehearsal... my week will be very repetitive. Work and rehearsal and production and if I am lucky, sleep.
