Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hil, I have been there. It is no fun. In my case, though, it will be due to the poor beverage choice I made at dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother has a church retreat all day, so I'm all excited for a better-organized day than I usually manage when we go to my father for lunch. We'll see when I actually make it up and out.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm headed out to see a 12 hour play.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We're going to hit Buy Buy Baby at some point today to get another base for the car seat, so I can drive the little guy around when needed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm headed out to see a 12 hour play.

What?

It's called All Our Tragic.

All Our Tragic is an epic adaptation of the thirty-two surviving Greek tragedies first mounted in 2014 and returning in the Summer of 2015. This twelve-hour theatrical event features the entire canon of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, creating a modern Festival of Dionysus. These Ancient Greek festivals were designed to encourage civic conversation about contemporary topics by incorporating art, politics and food.

Typically, audiences experience a play for two hours and then, within days, even high-quality productions dissipate from memory. In answer to this, we find ourselves turning toward making art that requests a prolonged commitment from the audience in exchange for an unforgettable experience.

All Our Tragic features nine hours of performed material and three hours for snack and meal time, which is included in the price of admission. These breaks are as important as the performances themselves; they provide a time to discuss the freshly-witnessed plays with others, to eat some food, and to get to know some strangers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am sorry to hear that yesterday was such a mess of gawdafful.

Dana, my best to your husband. I hope something good finds him.

flea, OMG

but my big issue is I am having so much trouble running a family and working full-time. I simply don't have enough energy at the end of the day to manage the emotions of everyone in my family

This. This. I am right there with you. I'd break but there's no on who's job is taking care of me, so it'd just be making my own workload tougher.

And JZ, I am sorry to hear Mathilda is so heartbroken about the classes. I know what that's like too. This is the first year Isaac hasn't been a puddle of tears on learning his class assignment. But the good news is that he's been dead wrong all those other years and has really loved all his teachers.

First round of errands done! Library, post office, liquor store. Now to walk to Target, except I'm already sweating and yuck. I will let myself take the bus home, even though that kind of eliminates going to the cheap supermarket. But exercise. And sheets.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My goal this weekend is to get the house all the way neat and considerably cleaner, plus get some gardening done. I have an elaborate plan for all of this, using a modified version of the pomodoro method -t mentioned quite a while ago.

So far I haven"I made it off the couch
