And suddenly it's COLD. This is crazy! The other day the temperature literally dropped twenty degrees in a few hours. Silly me thinking I could wear jean shorts and a strapless top to rehearsal when the day started out at 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cuteness be damned, I actually think I caught a cold from being unexpectedly stuck in post-rehearsal rainy evening with barely anything on! Oh well, the weather today was gorgeous, sunny, with the perfect crisp fall breeze that begs for jeans but still gives a reprieve from cumbersome winter jackets.
Rehearsal today was fast, added rehearsals (already) for next week. Hopefully the director is happy with what he is seeing! Honestly, it's kind of nice to be a background element in a machine with as many cogs and facets as Don Giovanni has... I don't envy the principal opera singers all the hard hard work they must be doing with Mr. Grandage.
Started (another) job today, working part time in HR and administration for a sustainable clothing company. The boss is a bit absent minded... great opportunity to work on developing and increasing my quota for patience. OOh and I got the position I wanted with one of Mayor Bloomberg's new education initiatives. Can't wait to get started in October!!
Donated to an old friend's cause today and got an update about the 12 year old l'm sponsoring in Guatemala through Children's International... it felt good. Honestly, I've been spending more money than I should of late, but why not? Life is short, I could die any day, and I'm happy to contribute to the economy in the pursuit of making others' lives a bit brighter, as well as taking some much needed down time with my wonderful friends.
I can always make more money, I can't ever get more life than whatever I've been allotted. What is that mantra? You must do the best that you can with the time that is given to you?
Oohh girl, I'm trying. And with that, I'll leave you with a particularly enjoyable take on a scene from my old fave Disney cartoon, Beauty and the Beast, courtesy of my leggy namesake:
