I really need to get better at regular posting...
SO! How have you been?
I have been very busy. Hence the silence on my blog. So what has been happening? I had finals - I got an A in both classes! And Sister Act opened - we have only four performances left! I've already started on another production - Comedy Of Errors - though this one is not with WCT.
And I had homeschool prom yesterday - which was delightful.
Oh, and I somehow my Sacroiliac joint out of whack - which was very painful.
For those of you who don't know - I didn't - it is a joint in the lowback/hip area. In the words of Wikipedia: one of the SI joints' function is shock absorption (depending on the amount of available motion at the sacroiliac joint) for the spine, along with the job of torque conversion allowing the transverse rotations that take place in the lower extremity to be transmitted up the spine.
And because of that injury I was forced to "take it easy" during last weekend's performances. Which, for me, is really hard. I don't like holding still, or not pulling my own weight, so having other people do what I was originally told to do was mentally painful for me. However my cast-mates were all being caring and lovely, and making me take care not to make my injury worse. And I'm really grateful for them doing so, but still, there were many moments that I wished that they cared less, because I was going crazy. So I wrote the following piece in response to the situation.
__
A curse upon this injury!
I in future shall take better care of myself
If only to avoid this tender care from my companions
In truth, at the first, I basked in the affections that were shown me
And reveled in the laziness I was allowed
But as the days went on, the resting was no longer a joy
And indeed itself became like unto working.

So yeah. That's what has been happening with me.
The title quote is a random line from Shakespeare's The Comedy Of Errors.
