One More Day

rowangolightly...to pack up everything. Kimmi came to help; the other help explained why they hadn't made it. LOL, poor Kate - couldn't get here if she didn't have phone or address or service to retrieve what I'd sent until too late. J.W. got swamped but didn't bother to call to tell me that.
I'm tired and in "putting out fire" mode - one foot in front of another just to get as much done as I can until I collapse. Mason-kitty's at the vet for the weekend and I can't believe how much I miss him.
One ouchey surprise; it seems that the quartet I formed for Christmas gigs have been calling each other and talking (without ever picking up the phone to call me), since now I'm singing with Bruce and have 2 Christmas gigs on critical holiday booking weekends, that they'll just replace me, for just those two weekends, or altogther, I don't know. Do I mind? Hell yes, I mind! But what am I spozed to say - "no, you can't sing without me" so I said, sure, go ahead. Damn it, I put in hours choosing music and rehearsing; hosted all rehearsals at my house last season; worked hard at booking gigs. All it would take is to call me; don't talk around me or behind my back! Dammit - this feels a bit like when I was "invited out" of the year-and-a-day group. I asked a couple of them when they wanted to start rehearsing and got a noncommital answer. But when a couple of paying gigs come up, where I have not one nibble of another gig, why shouldn't I take it? Grrr, hate situations like this. *sigh* And I've never been one to stick around where I'm not wanted. Wow - this hurts more tonight than it did when J. dropped by to talk to me about it. Gotta talk to them and let then know how I feel; not good to let something like this fester. I just wanna perform and have fun; not get into political bullshit or play games.
Ok - enough of that - to bed so I can get up at the butt-crack of dawn and pack some more. And meet with Halloween clients to deliver all the last minute stuff I've been hired to make. Yeah, working for yourself while packing to move is a great combination! I highly recommend it for quickly losing your sense of perspective, sense of humor and sense of fun - temporarily, I hope.
Coupla good things - Kimmi's coming back tomorrow and Kate's gonna drop by first thing to help before work. And I get to see my beloved tomorrow night!
