After a quiet night and catching up on sleep, I think I may be ready for this afternoon’s dress rehearsal. I have a couple of costume changes. When I write that, I can’t believe that I’m dancing and require costumes. Crazy. I would not have believed anyone who told me I would be doing this.

The novel is in waiting. No work got done on it yesterday, and today looks the same. My cats are feeling neglected because this week I’ve hardly been home. Pets really do love routines.

I haven’t wanted to think about the upcoming holidays, and so I’m behind in shopping. Typically, I have everyone taken care of. I hate shopping most of the tme, but this time of year it’s horrible. I’d rather have a root canal–anything except go to the mall. I still have one nephew and my grandmother to shop for. I also still need to get my hands on a PS3–without paying some jacked up price. It won’t be long before there will be enough of them on the market that paying 4 to 5 times the price isn’t necessary.
