A week later… Im still sore & now Im sick.. gonna have to mask up and do a 6 hour Nutcracker rehearsal on very little sleep. I’m overwhelmed & need a break. Or a hug.
Got a tooth pulled yesterday. It is kicking my ass today. The only time I wish I wasnt single is times like this. Im gonna have to get out, go to the store & get a few things. No I do not trust instacart & door dash… wishing I had someone to care about me while I am in my feelings today & in pain.

My bestie who has been on remicade for most of her adult life for chrons disease just found out her insurance wont cover it anymore & the broker she is working with said “no insurance companies will cover it”

Webster Groves businesses are amping up a large food drive this month.

So far this week: Flat tire that ended up with nothing wrong, sis got food poisoning (she is fine now) broke a tooth eating soft foods(which pushed me to get Dental Insurance) then the power went out for an hour on our block at our business bc of an underground electrical fire.
So fun.

Well I finally had to move my arm. So she got up. And not a minute later this one got herself snuggled up. At least my arm is free so I can get some work done on the laptop. I think they are having a turf battle, but it is a super slow moving & polite one. 🤣

Met today with a prof from Wash U who just finished a book about the Performing Arts in Branson. She wants to include me in some book events since I worked there in the ‘90’s. Then went to a pointe shoe fitting for a student. On my day off. I deserve a prize for this imo. ☕️

Solid day: Got the car & driver’s license both renewed, got some groceries & a matcha, cleaning the loft, got invited to speak at an event for a new book coming out by a colleague at Wash U, the weather is nice.
If it were not for the fascism it would feel like a nice normal Friday.
