Still spinning

March roared by in a blink and so far, April is moving at a similar pace. I feel like I'm in hell on acid. I leave Wednesday morning for a town 765 kms away to stage manage a play in a competition. Don't get back until Sunday. The choir sang a major work on Mar 30 & 31 (rehearsals for the 3 nights previous) the play we're taking to festival ran Mar 22 & 24 and leading up to that we had 5 rehearsals a week because we lost so many earlier in the winter due to blizzards. Got a free-lance job to do the layout for a theatre program for another theatre group (paying). It had to be to the printer on Mar 26. A long-term employee has retired from the office. They're not replacing her and my workload has almost doubled and the person whose duties I've assumed is too busy to help me because he's assumed the duties of the retiree. In any event, he's on vacation in the US right now. He booked it before we knew she was retiring. D2 has high school grad (much fuss). D1 has university grad (she's not going) but she is going. To Alberta later this month. To live. (That's 6,350 kms away for the non-Canucks.) While I'm glad she has the amibition and wherewithal to do so, I'm going to miss her terribly.

Gah. And argh. And shoot me now. If I'd known the changes at work were coming down the pike, I'd never have agreed to get involved in this play.

After Sunday things should calm down considerably. Either that, or I shall be shooting myself. Either way, I'll get a break!
