Ahhhhh...sweet relief.
Friday the play (Godspell) opened and I felt the cast had an excellent opening night. Which they then bested on Saturday, even if there were a few gaffs here and there.

Friday night after the show everyone went across the street to Generous Georges for celebratory pizza. Even though that ended around midnight I still wasn't allowed to go to bed. I packed a quick over-night bag for the missus then threw all the old-n-busted junk in my car for the next morning's YARD SALE.

At 6 am the alarm went off and the missus and I loaded up her car, then drove over to my Mum's to retrieve more stuff as well as the missus's dryer (all this was over there because mom had a yard sale a few months back and we just left the stuff). From mom's we drove to the parking lot at work we the company yard sale was. We set up and prepared for the rush.

And what a rush it was!!! We moved a ton of stuff - clothes, books, movies, tv stands, bookcases. The one thing we didn't move was the missus' dryer. So it was left at the Salvation Army where it will find a good home (prolly in a river).

So after the yard sale we spent the afternoon trying to locate some more props for the play; specifically - glow sticks. After scouring Northern Virginia we had 67 glow sticks - enough glow sticks for each actor, for every night of performance.

Then there was performance no. 2, where the audience reacted better to the cast and the jokes. Then to cast party, of which we stayed until 2 am chatting with the cast and the most excellent music director. Then home. Then sleeping until noon – a luxury I have not be able to afford for some time.

Switching gears to COUNTDOWN TO NEW HOUSE:
T minus 5.41 days until we move into new apartment!
