new theatre

Yay! Finally, our theatre is finished and ready. It's been closed for a year now so they could rip everything out .. redesign the stage .. change the seating and most importantly the acoustics. It reopens this weekend with a concert by Boom Desjardins, lead singer from "la Chicane" doing a solo concert. I guess it's sort of appropriate since he's from our town.

Surgery.. ok, nothing major, nor minor..okay... let's say micro-minor surgery. Okay, okay.. I'm joking. Today I had a splinter in my finger that I just couldn't get out no matter how much I prodded and probed with a tweezer. It was very tiny and too deep under the skin. Tiny as it was it bothered me alot. So.. I did a little self-surgery if you will.

I took a little scalpel with a fresh blade and burned the blade to sterilize and then disinfected with alcohol. Geez... that sounds pretty crude, doesn't it?


Well anyways.. I cut the tiniest sliver. Yes.. I could feel the eebie-jeebies in my knees and in the pit of my belly, but thought it too ridiculous to go to the hospital to get it taken care ; it's such a tiny thing ... and besides I hate going to the hospital. At least doing it by myself I felt I had control over the situation.

Anyways, the splinter is out, the patient is fine. :-) Looking back on it now I don't know if i was being brave or just crazy.

Oh.. and I want to send "Get Well" wishes to Heather, CCZ and to tiny Emma, who are all under the weather today and feeling pretty crummy! I hope you all feel better very soon.
