RTBTCKI: The Clouds are Breaking Up Edition
For the new readers, RTBTCKI is Random Thoughts Before the Coffee Kicks In and is a series of entries that is what it says
Caroline was home from school yesterday with a fever. I think I poked the evil eye on that one having commented last week when I pointed out to her that she hadn’t been sick this school year. I think she picked it up at the convention over the weekend. The point between exposure and symptoms is about right.
My tinnitus is acting up which means I have to watch myself and not clench my jaw, which happens when my ears are ringing. So I consciously have to relax my jaw. My ears are hurting too. I am trying my usual over the counter medicine to see if maybe it is sinus related but doggone they hurt.
The rain is ending and the skies are showing signs of lighting so I am figuring that the clouds are on the way out. It is shaping up to be a nice day.
Most of my day will be at Caroline’s school. They are having their annual plant sale right before Mother’s Day and I am helping this afternoon.
Ariel comes home this weekend. She is still job searching. Trying to find something for the summer and just the summer is hard these days. She doesn’t drive so that adds some complications to the matter.
The Mets have won more than two in a row. Last year we called two in a row a streak. They seem to be doing a little better than that this year. A number of teams are doing better than their projected place in the sports pundits’ lists. It is shaping up to be an interesting season.
The Rangers and the Capitals are going for a game 7 for all the marbles. The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been exciting this year. No real lopsided matches and a lot of overtime.
Someone asked my opinion as an Equity Stage Manager how realistic did I think Smash is. Pretty realistic including all the drama. I think after the season is over I am going to do a review from a stage manager’s point of view. I can say that I have known in my career someone who can be matched to each character in the show.
It looks very green outside this morning.
Here is what I said on Facebook yesterday after hearing about President Obama speaking up for marriage equality.
I went to George and Brad Takei's wedding. The skies didn't open up and rain fire. Cat and Dogs are still not living together. They had been together for 21 years before they were allowed to get married. Their relationship was old enough to drink. And they are still married and still silly in love with each other. I don't think what they did that day affected anyone else's marriage. Good for President Obama to say something he said on his Senate questionnaire oh so many years ago.
And to me that is what it is. Marriage Equality. I have had too many friends unable to visit their loved ones in the hospital or have any say in their partner’s care because they aren’t a blood relative to the person. And in some cases that leave the person in the hospital totally alone because their family doesn’t want anything to do with them. The amount of legal documentation that has to be done so that their wills can’t be contested and they can have close to the rights that I got the moment Peter and I and the minister signed and filed a single piece of paper is absurd.
So on the line up of projects behind the gun. A set of Victorian Paper Dolls for a swap and a doll that is going to be passed around. Those I need to do this weekend along with double checking on Ariel’s room as she is moving in for Caroline’s stray toys. I think that is Friday. I also need to unearth Doctor #10 from the room of requirement.
Sherlock is back on my PBS stations. So review on that shortly.
I am grateful for such a lovely day before the leaf blowers start up.
