random thoughts – Day 2,247 (Tuesday) – time and balance

Another day gone in a blink. My biggest still-unanswered question is, why didn’t the days ever go by this fast when I was working? Maybe I need more stress and chaos to make the days feel longer, because they are disappearing much too quickly in the peace and quiet.

It stands on its own!

There was a bit of personal stress at dance group tonight, and time did stand still a little bit, so I may be on to something. I forgot a chunk of one dance that I practiced just yesterday. Then, I was using a brand-new veil that I will be using in the show’s opening number, and it is much lighter than the veils I’ve been using. Unfortunately, habit kicked in and I was still tossing it like the heavier veil I’m accustomed to, and it went badly, multiple times. It wrapped around my head. I stepped on it, I dropped it. I have a few weeks to practice away the kinks with it.

The 25-yard skirt had its first test run. The sturdy skirt that can literally stand up on its own had a successful debut at practice with no mishaps. It balanced out the scales a little, but couldn't make up for horrible veil work and forgetting a chunk of a dance. In the skirt dance, it was the music CD that had issues and it cut out twice.
