Busy Little Bee

It's been busy the last couple to days. Hard to remember everything to write out in detail right now so I guess it's easier to start with last night/early this morning. Went to see another Fall for Dance show. Finally got to see "Revelations" by the Alvin Ailey Dance Group. Can you say AMAZING?!? What a wonderful performance by all but wow....they were fantastic. I lucked out somehow and got an aisle seat in orchestra. Just like last week the view was perfect. This time around I also was sitting around some really nice people. Mike, Susan, their daughter and granddaughter. One would say they are the cool white people. LOL. They were really sweet. Mike said he has seen Revelations four times....the first time was over 30 years ago. He admitted that he's not an "artsy fartsy" guy but something about that piece really speaks to him. It's truly wonderful how dance art can "speak" to each of us differently. Love it!

Also at yesterday's performance was a piece called Snow. It was a solo Taiwanese performer dancing, reflecting, challenging the snow. I was mesmerized by the piece. A coworker of mine was also at last night's show he had a seat in Orchestra Left and I was in Orchestra Right. During intermission we were talking about Snow. His interpretation of the piece somehow got him thinking about work and our let's say "special" boss. LOL. I saw something else. I saw hurt, a little bit of anger, fighting peace, and surrendering peacefully. Perspective is an amazing thing. After the show Antwon and I went and got late night dessert at Ben Hur. Who knew the hunks of cake were literally that big??? Ha ha. I had to bring half of mine home. We had great conversation and laughs over a range of topics. While we were there guess who walked in and sat at a table across from us? The dancer from Snow! He and his two friends came in for post show coffee. When he was leaving I stopped him and told him how much we enjoyed his performance. Antwon was bummed that he missed him leaving (he had gone to the men's room).

So, needless to say we left the restaurant about midnight and I got home around 1am. During the show, one of my other friends tried calling several times and texted me. He is having roommate issues. We ended up speaking about 1:30 this morning. Difficult situation but I know everything happens for a reason and as I told him what is going on for him is really a blessing in disguise. I can feel it. He will be moving again at the end of the month.

The work week was chaotic as usual due to the head honchos not being organized and last minute but whatever. Just go with the flow to a point. Technically I'll be unemployed again in four weeks if other things don't pan out but I'm not worried. Even though I don't have much I feel good right now even with the family drama. This time my mother is the stress point and something surrounding her health. It's never good when a doctor calls the kid when the parent doesn't listen. It can be draining as parents age. They revert back to children. At least God gave me patience and the awareness to realize certain things. It can be very draining though considering I have my own medical issue to contend with and always having to juggle around not having steady medical insurance. I know for me going to get certain tests and such are really scary at times. Even more scary since I always have to go alone but I am glad that I manage to remain positive about the trajectory of my life (even on the down days).

Last week I volunteered for the SUWN. Got a great pair of what Miriam and I call the "fuck me pumps". LOL. They are very sexy. I love them. Not sure of this wave of confidence and power that has engulfed me but I like it very much. Who knew that power has nothing to do with money? LOL. I'm going to soon work on finding someplace to go and wear this great, simple black dress with those shoes. And it has nothing to do with finding a man. Every once in a blue moon I still think about if I'll ever find a mate or if he'll find me soon but I find now that I don't think about it hardly ever. I haven't given up with I don't worry about it anymore. Whatever will happen will happen. Last week when I went with Richard to see a clairevoiant (sp), the message I got back from the other side was something like, "Yes, and go out in groups". Not exactly sure what that meant. The message came from my father's parents. The medium described my grandmother as a really nice, beautiful woman. I never met her as she passed away when my father was young. I wish I could have met her. She sounded like a good spirit. Oh...my question was "will I find the love of my life soon and will we be happy?"

OK. I better go. Did wake up late, about 10am, and ate a huge bowl of grits. Yummie. Then cleaned up the heaping pile of clothes that gathered over the week on my settee. Still need to tackle the paper pile at the end of the sofa. Next week I'm walking in a charity event and the following week is Making Strides. Also teaching a volunteer training session and finishing the schedule for Jana and her group. Think I also have tickets for Dr. Oz this upcoming week. Need to get a traditional planner back where I can visually see my week. This electronic thing is not working for me. Ha ha. Also think I have a drs appoint. Headache specialist. maybe there might be some new recommendations to get my migraines under control. OK. really better go. Perhaps more tomorrow.
