A whole day off and I’m still pretty tired. *whew* It’s been a crazy few weeks. Long days, no days off, and way too much to do. The scenic designer on our professional show is, well, shall we say ‘difficult to work with’? He seems to have a habit of riding roughshod over pretty much everyone in order that his “sculpture” of a set looks PERFECT. Ah well. The Lighting designer (the one that I have to deal with) was pretty cool. Demanding, but not in a bad way. The poor student show got short shrift thanks to all of us being so physically and emotionally exhausted by the pro show. BUT! Today was a day off for me, and I spent it… shopping! Also, skipping opening night. Shopping was more important.

Why, what did I do during tech, you ask? I ran the light board, of course! I was the main programmer for the show, sitting next to the lighting designer, setting levels and running cues. leaving me plenty of time for

That’s actually the first sock I ever started. I put it down because I was far more interested in finishing my first sweater. I’m not certain what that fuzzy thing in the second picture is going to be. Um. We’ll see. It’s pretty relaxing to just sit there and knit garter stitch from some yummy mohair. Even if it IS in the dark.


I actually have some more to say, but I think I’m about to fall asleep again. So I’ll save it for the next post. Which will NOT be in two weeks. I promise!
