Nestled in against the storm

As the storm rages outside, I am bundled up comfy and safe at home. Jared took a sick day to recover from the throat ailment he's been battling through and I worked from home, so we've been weathering the day at my place with my delicious leftovers and each other's company. It has been pleasant.

On top of that, I handed in my craft essay for school today, which knocks something significant off my enormous to do list. I also got a response from my teacher about the second half of Mrs. Hawking, and I am relieved and delighted that she thought it was good. It needs some fixing-- I have some technically demanding details that she thought were cool but unlikely for any theater to be willing to build --but she thinks I can get away with adding an author's note suggesting more practical alternatives. As I really believe in this play, I think I can whip it into real fighting shape. Teacher also said I can have a Lesley-sponsored reading of my play, which I will give you more details about once I have them.

So I feel pretty good today. Not quite finished yet-- my graphic novel script is due by the end of the week, and then I have to finish and send out the sheets for Break a Leg --but I feel accomplished right now. Every little bit brings you a little bit closer!
