Hump Day Update
Well, I made it through yesterday’s flurry of activity, including a lovely evening hangout with an old burly pal. God, I love that gal–I had forgotten how much. She came over and we discussed some details about a BIG ASS show I’m putting together and then we hung out and chatted. It’s been an age and a half (maybe a year?) since we have seen one another and probably two of three since we actually hung out, so it was super nice. T was really glad to see her too.
Yesterday, I stayed home from work because I was stressed from a lack of sleep and I ended up sleeping in and spending the day to getting a HUGE pile of stuff done. It was a totally productive day and I slept really well after, thanks to “Butts and Guts” class (which is as bad as it sounds) and two glasses of red wine. After my burly friend left, me and T watched Bigger Loser (with a lot of FF-ing through the weepy times or the weigh-ins of people we didn’t like yet) and went to bed early.
Pause to look at sarcastic e-cards about weddings and decide to not send one to my boss.
Tonight will be fun. I’m heading–after work–to a meeting about really cool potential gig (more on that later) and then to help a gal who I know vaguely put together a “classic burlesque” act. She has been performing with this drag troupe in town doing sort of half-fetish and half-skit numbers and now she’s got a burning desire to put together something more formal. I’m excited to work with her because, well, I love teaching. And it’s so nice–no offense to my straight students or colleagues–to work with someone else queer for once.
I miss having a troupe chock full of queer gals. While most of the ladies I work with wouldn’t rule OUT dating another gal, they mostly have boyfriends. Sometimes, you just gotta hang with yer lezzies, ya know? I am sure to catch crap about this from some angle, but it’s how I feel.
ANYWAY. Work has been a tetch annoying today, but it’s almost over. Let’s just say that nobody lost a life, so I guess it’s all’s well that ends well.
Now I must finish up a few things and get outta here. Have lovely evenings, bunnies.
xox, Ms. Bea Haven
