Cast.

Leigh announced the roles we will be playing in the show tonight. There was only one role that I really expressed any interest in, even though there were quite a few I would have been happy to play. The one I mentioned was Sleeping Beauty, and Leigh told me it was a role I would probably like. I got it :D

Chuffed!

I'm having a lot of fun at rehearsals, even though it's only the third week. I've been talking to more people in the cast and making better friends and keeping quiet while Leigh is talking so he doesn't yell at me is hard (though it's hard to take Leigh seriously when he yells at me) and I am glad I wound up signing up for this. I might be tired all the time, but that's ok, because my character is constantly falling asleep anyway!

It's nice to have something to do other than work and wait for weekends.




This summer I think my routine is going to change a little, and I'm going to take my camera everywhere. I already know I'll be spending as many days and evenings at the beach as I can, and I'll use that as a good chance to walk and swim and hopefully my fitness will improve. Summer also means fruit, so I think my diet may improve a little. I'll never be one to completely cut out fats and carbs and avoid 98% of foods, but I think I could definitely add more of the better things to my diet as well. It might make me feel fresher and brighter. Eventually I hope to start horse riding regularly again, and going out more to do all the random stuff I wanna do. I want to go ice skating and roller skating. I want to go for walks in national parks. I want to go for long drives to small towns just to get lunch. I want to find a whole lot of little things to appreciate, and simple memories to look back on. The smaller milestones, for me at least, have always been the most memorable. I guess that's because they never had the hype leading up to them, it was just an unexpected pleasure.

I was talking to Leigh a few months ago and we were discussing the best parts of our relationship. We both agreed that there were so many more little, underestimated moments that we cherished more than big events. I think that holds true for all my memories, not just the ones with Leigh.

So, I guess that's what I want to do. I don't want to plan big events, or anticipate "special" dates, or make a big deal of things. I just want to go where I feel, do what takes me fancy and appreciate the moments that are small but nice.

Of course, I did say "this summer" things will change, but hopefully I don't have to wait til then.

P.S. I was really excited that I can remember the code to turn the picture into a link. Go me!
