Gotta love KC

Tonight, Dave, Kristen and KC were over for dinner. Afterwards, KC and I were sitting on the couch, reading books. Mostly KC was talking about Cucks (trucks). Several of his books are about cars and trucks. Then, I said, Give me a hug. He gave me a big kiss. You gotta love those open mouth, drooly kisses that 16 month olds give you. There's nothing like them. This was the first time he has done that and he's so darn cute.

I love the Opera

I think I have posted under that title before, but it's true. We start rehearsing in the theater tonight and I am so excited. I still need to really get the words to some of the songs down, but I know all of it. It's just learning the order and the context of the songs to the acting that needs some work. Mike is a "super" and it's been so fun to have him along for the ride. I think it's helped our relationship, too. It will be fun to see him in his pink tights and purple knee length pants and cape. I think he is costumed more fancy than I am. Oh well. My knee is hanging in there. It was so sore after the PA injected it, but the chart says that he only did a partial injection, so I think I was low on fluid in my knee, which is why it felt like bone on bone when I walked. I suspect I have built up synovial fluid and the motrin is helping a lot. I needed a Percocet last night, but I had been at work for 12 hours and we ran the fight scene 4 times at rehearsal, so it was sore and twingy. Today I am working only 8 hours and will be able to be off of my leg for about an hour before I have to go downtown, so it should be okay.
I am also trying to get Christmas put away and organized for next year, but that's mostly going on in my head. I make plans, but when I get home, I am too tired to attempt to implement my ideas, but it will happen. I am hiring a handyman to help finish projects around the house. His name is Mike Sohm and I expect he will be good.
