But wow - busy couple of weeks. The second weekend of the play is a third over- and going well. My parents came back last night and brought my Uncle V and my brother with them. Uncle V. lives about seven hours away, and he drove in just to see the play - which was amazing. Especially since my father kept it secret (from me) and I had no idea who would show up. Tonight some theatre friends are coming - so hopefully they will like the show - it has been very well received thus far. Tonight has the most pre-sold for ticket sales. As of right now there are less than fifty seats in the theatre available. Hopefully walk-ins will fill us up!
Work is going along - it has been the busiest two weeks in a four week cycle, so I've not had much time for anything else. Other news... I am now an advisory board member for HPEF - which will be an interesting adventure - but one I can't properly appreciate until after the play is over.
It is getting progressively colder outside - dipping down to the low thirties at night, and cresting near fifty during the day. I understand there was a dusting of snow the other morning, but I didn't bestir myself from the house in enough time to see it. I've now had the heat on, albeit on low, for over a week now. I tried to hold out for November, but it just got too damned cold, so I folded. I've got the house set at about 65 to 66 degrees, which is comfortable-ish. However, it does mean I need to turn off the heat about forty minutes before I shower if I want hot water. Ah, the quirks of this house are just... lovely.
Most of the trees around my house are holding onto their leaves (oaks wait until the very last moment to drop their leaves) - which means I likely won't be raking until November. I haven't looked up the leaf collection schedule, but my trees drop leaves so late I generally miss it, and have to take the bags of leaves in myself. One year between my travel schedule and the late fall, there was snow on the ground before I raked. Spring cleanup kind of sucked that year, so even if I have to take a weekday afternoon, I am determined to rake before the snow flies in earnest. But it all depends on when the trees let go of the leaves.
