Right This Minute

Fast update of what's up in my life as of right this minute... Doctor appointments over the next 2 weeks to figure out why I can't get rid of the headaches and earaches I've been having since sometime in February...and one to schedule a laproscopy to check for endometriosis (this is a "short" update or I'd take time to explain all that - look it up). Getting the taxes done (finally!) on Tuesday. God willing it's a healthy return so I can pay medical bills. Speaking of bills and the like, finances are tighter than I'd like. Gas prices are rough on an hour-each-way-commute. My boss (and her boss) were kind and awesome enough to let me work from home every Wednesday during Lent to help cut down the amount of expense and strain on the finances and body from driving all over the place. It has helped. Instead of stopping at the the gas station 3 times a week, I stop twice. Also, having a day without the drive gives my body a breather from all the time spent in the car. But! I can't keep begging to work from home and I can't keep driving an hour each way every day, so...something's gotta' give. Either I move to Lincoln so I'm closer to work, or I find a new job altogether. Therein lies the rub. I know I need to move. I just don't know where, so I'm leaving it up to God. Either He'll show me a place in Lincoln that will be just right, or He'll show me a job (here it comes) in Arizona that will be just right. There. I said it. It's Lincoln or Arizona. This Winter kicked my butt big time. I had more pain than I had in probably three years. If I could find a job that would let me be a snowbird I'd be all over that! The internet isn't doing it for me, so everyone keep their eyes and ears open for opportunities and/or places with yards and fences (I'm done with apartment buildings - need to be able to let Samson run in a yard). I'm supposed to start my thesis over again (had to drop it back in February) this summer. Waiting to see what the damage will be from the medical bills and how much of a tax return I'm getting before I register again. I may have to choose between paying bills and finishing my degree...and that sucks. Started a new health program through work and already am ignoring it. Apparently, no one who does this has to get up before dawn to get ready for work and drive forever, therefore they have time to do all sorts of exercising and making fancy breakfasts. Participants must also be able to buy expensive, albeit healthy foods...and not be gluten and lactose sensitive/intolerant. Hmmm...well, at least it gives me some ideas and you can contact a professional dietitian or trainer to ask questions and get suggestions. And, it makes me think about what I'm doing (or not doing) exercise and diet-wise. No theater until fall (depending on all the above situations), but singing in church is plenty enough for now as we get ready for Holy Week; and I sing every Sunday with the praise team for the contemporary service. Also trying to get some projects taken care of that have been on my to-do list for ages (such as putting photos in an album - August of 2009!? Really!?) and maybe even catch my breath a little. Okay. It's time to shut the patio door and office window. The breeze is getting too cold now that the sun has gone down. I should eat some dinner, too. I wonder if there are any good movies on tonight...

Oklahoma!

Ugh! I'm horrible at keeping this thing up-to-date anymore. I try to do better, but it just isn't working. Anyway... The reason I logged on this time was to add a picture for "Oklahoma!" (which closed the first weekend in March). I hope it looks alright on your computers. Scott (fellow cast member) did a great job putting it together. :)
