Miss me?

[listersgirl]

Hello! I'm back in the land of people at work. Let me just take a moment to mourn my vacation.

...

All right then. It was a great vacation and seriously wonderful to see my parents. The weather co-operated, and no-one died from heat stroke - there was even rain one day! I'm not sure my parents will believe me when I talk about the scary Ontario summers, though. We saw five shows, did all sorts of touristy things in Stratford, and even managed to wander around Toronto a bit, although time was pretty limited.

I'm sad that they're gone, sad that I won't see them again until Christmas, but it was a bit of relief to say goodbye to the energeticness of being on holidays. That constant making sure that everyone is happy and everyone is ok, which was doubled when we were here in Toronto (because I was the one that should know where to eat, and how long it would take to get places) - it's always a bit tiring. And my parents are getting old! The fourth-floor walk-up nearly killed them and their bad knees, especially since they had to do it again to go have a smoke outside. But I think they had a fantastic time.

And then I saw two more plays over the weekend after they left. That's 21 shows in 12 days in 2 cities. I think perhaps I'll lay off the live theatre for at least a week now.

I'm sure there'll be play reviews and "witty" anecdotes forthcoming, but for now I need all my brain power to tackle my super scary inbox here at work.

So that's it. I missed you all! How was your week? What's going on with you?

Happy birthday to zoje_george and a happy belated birthday to crimsonkitty! Is it my imagination, or is there an overabundance of birthdays at this time of year?
