Drama

Today was just what the doctor ordered.  I spent the day at a BBQ with good friends and good times/laugher were had by all.  Granted, we all ate way too much food but that's something that tends to happen when the food is as good as it was today.  Maybe all of the laughter helps to negate some of the calories that were consumed - - hey, a girl can dream anyway!  =)


It was nice to have a fun day today because this week has been filled with lots of drama...  It started off with a five year old telling me that they hated me and then they threw a block at me causing a swollen/bruised lip and bleeding gums.  Then, when I was driving on the highway Monday, my windshield got hit by a rock and caused a crack.  This is honestly the first time my windshield has been hit by a rock and I didn't know really what to do.  So, after talking with my parents, I had to make my first insurance claim and deal with the headaches that ensued.  I called about having the windshield replaced (since the crack was bigger than a dollar bill) and they said it could be replaced on Tuesday.  On Tuesday, the glass place called to let me know they had the wrong windshield and they wouldn't be able to replace it until Wednesday (I needed a windshield with a rain sensor and they had one without).  So, they told me the tech would be there between two and four and he of course didn't show up until just after four.  At least he was able to replace the windshield quickly, cleaned all of my windows and then vacuumed the carpets and seats.  If all of that wasn't enough, later in the week another child from my class hit me across the face, sent my glasses flying onto the pavement and both lenses ended up being scratched.  NOT my best week.  =(


At least my lip is getting better (I still have a small bruise on my upper lip), the windshield has been replaced with (fingers crossed) no leaks and work is looking into getting the lenses of my glasses replaced.  I guess if I looked at things from a different perspective, things could have ended up worse (even though I am very thankful that they didn't).


With everything that happened last week, I am also glad that I have tomorrow off of work.  I'm not quite sure at this point how I'm going to spend my day but I'm hoping to spend at least part of it relaxing.  Surprisingly my dance instructor is closing the studio tomorrow so I will probably spend some time at home tomorrow working with some music for an upcoming performance (time again to turn the studio into a nightclub!).  I am planning on performing two pieces - one with my sword and one without.  We'll see how that goes...


I suppose if I'm going to work on a new piece of music, I need to narrow down my selection first.  I have a couple of pieces in mind but am trying to decide which one goes best with the music I'm already using.  I know it will all come down to what inspires me as well as what I think I can come up with in two weeks (since that's when the performance is).  I know it will all come together as it always does but at this point I'm feeling a little bit nervous about the performance.


Well, I think it has come that time to put the computer away for the night and think about maybe getting something accomplished before going to bed (since I wasn't home most of the afternoon).  I figure if I get one thing accomplished before I go to bed, that will be one less thing I have to do tomorrow.  Please keep your fingers crossed for me that this week will be drama free.  =)
