Happy for a Friday morning because it means that it will become a Friday afternoon soon and better yet, the weekend. ha ha. I admit to finally being one of those people who is living for the weekend. After close to 20 years of working on the weekends, what can I say, I've joined the club.
Lots of things going on in the city starting June 1st. The Luminato festival is looking good with both free events and ticketed events. And with the Fringe Festival and Summerworks Festival and all the other little bits and bobs that will be happening, it's all good. Plus this year Toronto will have it's first Juste pour Rire. Hmm! I think I spelled it right. I figure that this summer I'm going to really embrace my singleness and aloneness, since I don't have a guy nor do I get to see my friends all that regularly cuz they work on weekends!
My boss and my boys and I have instituted our weekly drink night. We went out last night and were thrilled to find that our normal hang out has a new menu. It's good because I was sort of over the place. I'd still like to try out all the places downtown just to discover new hang outs but those guys are kind of set in their ways. So that little expedition could become my Wednesday night treat.
Disappointed that my July plan of going to Shaw Festival has been squashed because my buddy Tyrone has an acting gig, but happy for him.
Quincy gave me a bit of a scare yesterday morning. The cat is such a chicken that she will jump off the window sill when I go over to open the window. Of course I pat her and talk to her, telling her that it's okay. But I let her go while I slid the window open and she had to jump around me. Doesn't she hurt her leg and go limping away? Then of course because she's such a chicken she hides in a corner and won't let me near her to see if she's okay.
I'm calling her and calling her to come to me and both Picasso and Zelda come running over to me but not Quincy. I finally guided her out of her corner only to watch her limp to a new corner. sigh! I had to leave for work. I hoped that she'd just landed funny and that she'd feel better after a day of rest. She hadn't yelled when she landed so that was a good sign.
When I got home last night, she was still looking cranky but came to bed when I was ready to nod off and this morning she's all better. phew! I don't contend well with hurt cats. I'm very mother hen.
I've been nabbed by a new show, On the Lot. I wasn't originally going to watch it but then got home the other night and just wanted to veg. I told myself that I'd just watch it if I was home when it was on. The first episode was okay but then I caught last night's episode and boy, some of those shorts were really good. The random acts of kindness short was hysterical. They kept it nice and simple. And to think that a simple random act of kindness could go so wrong. Funny. And then the other short Time Out where a couple's arguing stops time had some great special effects.
And each group had to do their work in a 24 hour period working with complete strangers. It was really good.
And of course, I'll be watching, So you think you can dance, when I catch it. I always find that inspiring. Watching people work hard and struggle to learn a dance style that they've never done. It can be really inspiring. There is always a couple people who gave up on dancing for awhile and realized that dancing is their life and that always inspires to keep struggling with my writing.
So I've got a couple inspiring shows to catch when I'm home and I need something else to do this summer. And I've got a whack of festivals to attend and I've got the bar and patio expedition that I will do on my own unless a running partner appears out of the blue. Yeah there's always something inspiring and fun in the summer. Thank God for that.
