Mid-week

Ten o'clock is still early evening in our household. Well, on a normal day it is. But the sun's last lingering caress faded almost three hours ago. It feels much much later. The depths of midnight and waking nightmares, late. Chilly air of ink black night late...hurried on by cold and cloud...

How could darkness come so suddenly? Wasn't it a mere few weeks ago we bathed in solar glory until well after 9pm? Where has summer hurried off to?

With summer's last retreat and fall's descent comes the fog of heavy head, achy back and stuffy nose. Curse these first colds of fall...

Hopefully the bug cycles out of system soon. I suspect I picked up the cold at work. Sadly I've already spread the love to my intern and my husband.

Two days left of work to wade through while my head lingers in the cloud of medication and contamination. Most of the days for this tech have been of the hurry up and wait variety. The designer is insistent that a note get done. And I twiddle my thumbs as I wait for the items to make it back to my hands. In which time our designer actually sees them on stage, or perchance stops to talk to the director, and my wait becomes longer as new details emerge and decisions changed.

I don't mind the waiting game. I'd rather have her confident in her choices than rush through to accomplish the task only to find it wasn't in keeping with the production after all. Personally, I'd prefer to stay out of the decision making process and skip to the final go ahead once over. The constant "we might do this, but need to see that, and probably do this first" has gotten me antsy and second guessing myself as well.

But I don't mind the wait. My boxes of tools, hardware and trims have never been so organized...
