The Sprain and The Show

Well... On November 8th during the Veteran's Day program that I sang in and did lights for, I was coming down the stairs in the light booth and only half the stairs are lit, I missed a step and sprained my ankle. It was either my ankle or a cracked head. So I went on with the show pretending really hard not to be hurt. Well I went to the doctor after a few days and it turns out when i sprained my ankle a tendon by the ankle bone came loose (which sounds worse than it is). So I am in an ankle brace for just a little longer. Which is good because "Nunsense" opens on the 29th! So I can't be hurt. I'm Reverend Mother after all. I'm so excited to do this show. It's going to be amazing!

Update

About two weeks ago, I got really sick again. But this time it was Pneumonia! I had to have a decongestant and an inhaler and finally got my lung capacity back about Wednesday of last week.
On a brighter note, Nunsense practice is going pretty well. But I still have a lot of work to do before I'm a really good Reverend Mother! A girl at school who sews costumes and some of her own clothes is going to make a few of our Habits and the rest we will rent. I also went to see the play "Long Days Journey into Night". It was a good play. Very powerful. Those actors were absolutely wonderful.

Re-shoots

I'm a Senior now! Today we did the re-shoot of the prairie scenes that we had done back in about April. It went well I thought. Tomorrow is the cabin scenes. That, to me is the hardest scene I've done. It has so many different emotions and movements and directions that it's just something you gotta feel and do correctly to the best of your ability. But I've been having fun.

The Mantis

Today, Dad and I went to a picnic and a Preying Mantis landed on the arm of the chair. I think they are neat creatures and have recently found info saying that they are endangered and killing one gives you a fine is true and equal info saying it's just a rumor. I wouldn't kill the little creatures anyways. But endangered or not, they're still cool.

iPhones

There is a lot of buzz about those iPhones. People getting bills the size of books. I just can't believe that so many people can afford them. I can't, that's for sure. But it is ridiculous all the paper being wasted when all people want to know is how much they owe.
On a different note, filming is starting up again! We will be shooting the beginning of the film and then re-shooting the whole Sprague outdoor scene again. But it'll be fun. Oh and my sick cat is fine. Just thought I should update the cat situation.

My Pet Worries

I love my pets. The thing is, is right now I have a cat that is sick. I think he will be able to hang in there till I can afford to take him to the vet Tuesday. It's terrible when a pet, your loving family member, worries you so. I love him and hope the vet can help.

The Spiders

I went swimming for hours today. When I got home I watered and pruned the raspberry bushes. You never know how many terrifying spiders there are in there till you prune. It was like I was being attacked because of all the spiders I saw today. Also when I was opening the back door there was a spider barely a foot away the size of of my eye. I was terrified and couldn't get in the house until dad moved it. If I had a Bogart from Harry Potter it would most likely be a spider. Aracniphobic here!
