not quite as planned

So I got talked back into working at the theatre, this time for the winter wonderland affair. Pictures with trees, making frames for said pictures, dulcimer music singalongs, reindeer games, trains and hot chocolate and cookies. It was cute. I was put in the train room to guard it from little fingers. Trains run on electricity.

Have you forgotten me and all things electric? Yeah...like I said, Harry Dresden's sister here. Can you say all three trains died? Yes I knew you could. Spent two hours trying vainly to keep them running. Had to reconstruct a whole track to get rid of the incline figure eight since it was stressing the engine.

Then the snow started. Well it was snowing when I left which was just a powder, no cause for alarm. It quickly turned into a wet snow that led to a) multiple car crashes b) slicker than snot roads c) cancellation of the Christmas parade (it ws barely sticking but they panick easy here.) We canceled our last two hours (which I didn't know existed. I swore L told me 12-2pm, not 4!) I can't go tomorrow but i can go next weekend. Going around one curve i nearly ended up in a cemetery. I would have hated to wipe out the headstones. Luckily I'm used to driving in snow

And guess who is now part of the stage crew for a traveling Broadway A Christmas Carol play? Yeah... we'll i've never worked with Broadway actors, the traveling troupe or not, so it'll be fun.


bred an autumn!

will probably go to a good home


Got home. Paid rent. Told my landlord my hotwater heater is dying (did I mention the Dresden connection? Yeah thought so) let's see how long this takes?

Oh, Dude! The roads were total shite up here, too. And with all the frackin' hills I had to drive on my way home from visiting my mom & grocery shopping, I came this close to sliding out into the middle of an intersection and oncoming traffic. I was never so glad to get home and get the car parked.
