My dear few and remaining loyal readers,
I just wanted to take a moment to make sure you knew that yes I am alive and well. I am not quiet because of any particular reason, I am quiet because just at the moment there is not a great deal to talk about.
Life goes on, complete with all the bumps along the road, both expected and unexpected. It’s now been almost a year since Amras and I were at sea, and while a lot has changed in a year (almost too much to comprehend), we have settled into some semblance of a routine. Most of what is influencing our lives at the moment we have little to no control over and so we simply take things day to day as smoothly as possible.
I, who once wondered what country she was in on any given day, now work the 9-5 grind Monday-Friday, the same as millions of other people; and sure it’s not exactly the greatest, but it’s stable and pays the bills and that’s more than a lot of other people can say right now. It will be a while before our industry returns , and when it does it will not look at all like it once did, so I’m also laying the groundwork for alternative possibilities. Why? Because it’s always good to have a backup plan that’s why. Keep your fingers crossed for me as I put out four applications for really cool looking secretarial jobs this morning (what I *like* data entry!).
Keeping me smiling and afloat right now is the show that I’m in. A group of 8 slightly crazy people who rehearse every Tuesday evening in preparation for putting on a virtual performance worthy of these crazy times. If you haven’t already got your tickets, send me a message and I’ll send you the link, because you should really really come. After all these years away from it, being back on the stage in any form has lightened my heart in a way I didn’t think possible. I knew I missed it, I didn’t know I missed it this much!
In other news, Stitched By Heart Crafts is taking off more than I ever could have expected. I have commissions booked up until the beginning of May! I never thought there would be any interest let alone this much, but here I am…an entrepreneur.
You never know where life is going to take you do you?
