This weekend was utterly fabulous. After a fuck-up at work on Friday afternoon that happened right at 3:30, it only went up.

I'm still not sure what to write about Kingdom Come. Except for copious amounts of thank-you's to everyone out in the audience who screamed and cheered and clapped and so generously tried to tip me but I was so absorbed in my choreography that I couldn't properly accept the dollar-bill-love. CeCe Wonder feels more comfortable on stage performing than she did at a party, so I'm sure she'll pop up again in the not-so-distant future. And I had such a blast performing in the Toxic number.

Saturday we ran some errands than had lunch with Mintwaster and Cocolola and ran more errands than came home and napped hard. DYA woke up to go to her volunteer gig and I stayed home to work on writing. She came home and said, "we can unload the cardboard boxes from the car in the rain, or.....I can give you a massage." Guess what I picked? It was quite luxurious and it's funny how hard it still is for me to sit back and let someone pay attention and do nice things for me.

On Sunday we got up and went to temple for meditation then came home and finally started some packing. I watched the movie "School of Rock" while eating cookies and packing up the den. I did some reading. We drove down to Texas Ballroom to see Louche's pictures and the rest of the art show which was great. We came back and ate dinner while watching "The Sweet Hereafter". Then went to bed. The whole day of Sunday I never typed a word but I was constantly re-writing one of my stories in my head.

Now it's Monday morning and I somehow managed to write the shortest journal entry about one of the best weekends. I've had lots of great weekends lately.

This morning I ran into someone on the train, and normally I'm in such a sleepy introverted zone on my morning commute that the thought of making conversation freaks me out. But when it surprises me, as most spontaneous run-in's do, I feel energized afterwards by the unexpected moment.

Except I can't remember a damn thing I said.

This is a big stress week. Second interview tomorrow. Writing packet due (but I think I'll just mail it Wedneday morning instead of Tuesday afternoon). Packing my entire house in time for movers on Friday. Calling all the various places I need to change my address, as well as various appointments to cancel, reschedule, and schedule.

Let's end with some predictions of the week ahead:


Gathering your thoughts

In some ways you want to take things a little easier than you have in the past, RAYMOND. The presence of Mars and Venus in Gemini means that you are more concerned with reflecting upon what has happened and what you want to have happen next, rather than trying to do anything new. You are drawn to understand your motives for action, and also challenged to look more closely at the way you perceive the events that surround you. The Sun continues to move through Taurus, which is highlighting your social life, and giving you more reasons to go out and have some fun. On Wednesday, the Sun also aspects both Saturn and Jupiter. Although you may be disciplining yourself when it comes to focusing on necessary issues, it would also do you a lot of good to gather useful information, or make contacts that will enable you to move ahead with real confidence and joy. Mercury turns direct on Friday, which will benefit you in many ways by helping your career to progress once again. Relationships are ticking along right now, although you will get a lot more out of friendships than intimate love affairs this week. It's a time to plan ahead, and to listen to your soul.

yes, you met some of my favorite people, not only in DC, but on all of the east coast! i'm jealous.

one thing i love about this performance community is that no matter who fcking fantastic a performance/show/reading/etc. is, i know there will always be another in the near future.
