podling | Scattered Thoughts on Monday Morning

It's Monday and I'm tired. However, all is not bleak... I did make the train this morning (by mere seconds) and I am still employed. Every week that starts or ends like that is a decent one. Life is good. I would rather be asleep now though.

The show I was crewing for is over, so I'm free until the next time I'm roped in. Luckily, I only work on maybe one out of every three shows at that theatre. Even with having spent the majority of the weekend there, I still managed to play DDR for around 3 hours. Oh, and I cleaned my stove. So I was productive. Except I kind of took some of the paint off the stove, my bad.

I found a decent Italian restaurant near my house. It surprised me. I am most impressed. Perhaps it will become my local.

I have random health issues lately. I'm not going to go into it, but it's all more or less annoying. Somewhat worrisome to me. Oh, and my arm hurts where I got a tetanus shot the other day. And I'm sleep deprived in part because I had a doctors appointment ridiculously early in the morning on Saturday.

Last week I saw a penny lying on the ground. I'd already had a spot of luck that day, so I left it there for someone else to find. I wonder who found it. I wonder if it was lucky for them. My day quickly went bad after that, I don't think a penny could've helped anything though.

I don't really understand ambition. I'd like to have ambition, but I don't. I suppose that could be my ambition, but it's a pretty boring one. I just have no desire to achieve anything really. Except maybe to have a cool house, but that's not really ambitious either. It's more a pipe dream. As is traveling. I wish I had money, so that I could go travelling somewhere. But in 3 weeks, I'll be visiting my parents house. I haven't been there since christmastime. I miss my dog. And my family too, I suppose.

The thing that I think I really like about working on stuff at the theatre (beyond the joy of creation and working towards something, obviously) is that I can forget for a time that I'm more or less broke. I don't have as much time to play with, so the inability to afford travel doesn't bother me as much.

Soon it'll be warm enough for me to take my kayak out. I can't wait! This year I want to actually get out on the water, and given that I don't have to remodel a condo, I think I possibly can. With the wetsuit, I'm hoping to get out maybe in April. Paddlesport is this weekend, I may go just so that I can join some clubs.

Yesterday, someone asked me if I wanted to be on a Monster House crew with them. Of course I said yes. I mean, how could I not?
