The schedule for this week is all different and exciting. Today at work there was a retirement lunch for the head of the Sales and Marketing division and the executive office was set up with tall tables with white coverings and a long buffet table with salad and mashed potatoes and chicken pot pie from Lenzi’s and of course, a cake. It was nice and also a little sad. The reality of the merger hits a little harder each day with each new email detailing instructions for returning equipment, and to be on the lookout for this form and that form and various dates. And then there are the farewells that are beginning.
After work, there was our dress rehearsal for the show. The
drive there was awful, which seems to be the new normal. At several points on
route 495 there were vehicles on the side of the road, including the first one
I saw which was a white 18-wheeler with a black Acura SUV firmly wedged under the back of
the truck and buried to the windshield. Fire trucks, a rescue vehicle, and
an ambulance were assisting. That was wild. For miles it was heavy volume that
managed to creep along southbound which was much better than the standstill of
several miles on the northbound side.

| Costume parts laid out. |
We worked
out stage entrances and exits and plotted the location and handling of quick
costume changes. Luckily for me, I don’t have any super crunchy changes, but my
friend has about two minutes for a complete costume change, so we figured out
how I can help her. The show is tomorrow night and it feels like we are ready.
Whew.
