Fits and Starts
It comes and goes right now, my free time. On Sunday evening, after an exceptionally long photo call, I sat and stared at the walls. And then I played a video game. Because I could.
Now, though, I'm trying to grade papers and speeches and explain the format for the persuasive speech to students, and clean the office because the real occupant is back in town and should be able to sit in a clean space when she's here. And I'm trying to figure out how/when I'm going to take the Arboretum pix I didn't have time for on Sunday because we had company and a matinee and photo call and the adjustment to Standard Time and and and...
I just realized I completely left one of the classes I assist in out of my calculations re: dinner this evening. Shit.
Well, they've done just fine without me since mid-September. They can handle me being gone for one more day. Because otherwise, I'll not only overcook dinner (crockpot beef stew--yum!), but I won't have time to eat it before my 6:15 pickup rehearsal.
Somewhere in there I have to run lines so I'm useful in rehearsal and come up with 1100 more words of The Search for Herself before midnight.
