I truly enjoy blogging. I heard somewhere recently that 'blogging is cheaper than therapy.' That little catchphrase is meant to be funny, I'm sure, but there's a certain amount of truth to it. Not only do I blog to keep people updated on my life, but also often to vent my frustrations, dream about my ambitions, and muse about life in general. I like writing, talking, and telling stories. And this is my perfect way to do it without annoying anyone. =]
Which is why, as I said already, I truly have missed this. My job has kept me unimaginably busy for months on end, forcing my hiatus from blogging. Fortunately though, I have a little downtime now, so I'm making it a priority to catch up on my life here (this entry will be pretty short and sweet, and it's really just to get me going again).
Now, I have this downtime for two reasons. The first is because we just wrapped our last performances of the school year and are now in preparations for summer camp (which does actually keep me extremely busy as well, but not as much so as being in session). But the main reason I'm actually able to sit down and write regularly is because I'm on bed rest. And I'm on bed rest because I broke my pelvis the week of the show by falling off the stage 8 feet down into the concrete orchestra pit below. It was quite the event. More on that later.
I'm not very good at bed rest - I've been going pretty crazy not leaving the house, and I simply cannot stay in bed. But I'm finding ways to occupy myself that are pretty low-key. In addition to planning camp, I've learning how to sew. It's something I've always wanted to do, and I'm taking to it quite well, if I do say so myself. I've already made a fabulous little dress and am finishing up a skirt this week. Sometime soon I'll post photos.
So now I'm looking forward to using this time off to get back to something I truly enjoy - writing about my life, thoughts and feelings. I hope you enjoy it too.
I'll talk to you soon...
