It’s been a good day. 🙂 But, the only down side to that is now I’m really way too excited to sleep.
I got an email from Join Me HQ today with my first real assignment. I’ve been enlisted in the Karma Army, and my mission – one Random Act of Kindness per week. I’m all set for this week, but it’s not really random since I’ve been planning it for a while. I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this or not, so I’ll tell the foundation of the story in a nutshell – a friend of mine is having surgery on her toe tomorrow morning, and we all know the harrowing events involving my own left toe. Thankfully hers won’t be as dramatic, but I’m sure it will still hurt like heck. She has a bone spur on the bottom of her toe and she has to have it removed cause, well, bone spurs hurt. I’ve been preparing a gift basket for her, filled with things to help with the pain. She and I both love a certain book series, and the latest book just came out. It’s only in hardback, and yet I still got it for her! Thankfully I got a huge discount, since I’m poor, but still. I’m thrilled about that, she’ll love it. I also made her a cute fleece blanket, since after foot surgery I got cold a lot, but couldn’t use bulky blankets for fear of hitting my foot. Fleece is perfect cause it’s warm and soft, but not bulky at all.
And today, I made cookies for her. Not entirely healthy, true, but yummy nonetheless. I’m going to take it over to her tomorrow around 2 in the afternoon. I think she’ll like it, and I know she’s not expecting anything cause I’m the only person she’s told so far.
So that’s my Act of Kindness for the week for the Karma Army. I’m gladly doing my part. 🙂
Rehearsal went really well tonight. I went early after the lecture all of us got last night from Terry, our nice Producer/In-Charge-Lady, all about how we only had one techie and they needed more people to move stuff around. I showed up at 6:30 and hauled stuff outside, set up lighting equipment, plugged stuff in, cut duct tape, that sort of thing. It was fun, and then rehearsal was entertaining tonight. Great fun all in all, and I think I’m ready for tomorrow night’s performance.
At 10:00 I had to run out and help set up for that reception I’ve been planning. All together, my shoulders hurt really bad now. 🙂 Tomorrow I actually have to get up early to go arrange the flowers, but I’m actually pretty excited about that, despite having to wake up so early. I can’t wait to see the centerpieces all together. The gladiolas are opening up and they’re going to be so gorgeous. I’ll have to take a digital camera so I can take pictures before people get there and the flowers get all crumpled.
I really should try to get some sleep…
