Heat / Pain

LOVE that heating pad!

The Bad News
I have not been comfortable since waking Monday morning but I  feel like God's BFF because I had an appointment for that afternoon with a physiotherapist due to a sore hip. But as of Monday, I was walking with razor blades in my back. It made my legs feel thick and heavy and the pain was relentless.

Boyd the physio cracked my back like a chiropractor would and I survived. I had feared that all my life and if I had known what Boyd was going to do, I would have freaked out.

He gave me exercises. I did them throughout Tuesday. Wednesday was like living in a torture research station so today I am not doing those exercises as much. I have earned a BS in self pity.

The Good News
Because Pacific Theatre here in Vancouver took an interest in my play and because of the encouragement of my friend, Stephen, I wrote to the artistic director of Centaur Theatre in Montréal, to ask if he might be interested in reading my script.  I wrote to him because Centaur has a small space as well as its big theatre.

Well!  Yesterday I got a lovely email from Roy, the AD. What has thrilled me about his response is that he had heard of my play and by coincidence he is coming out here in a week to direct a play that is happening at — wait for it — Pacific Theatre.

Regardless of the outcome of the readings by these theatres, I feel an incredible mix of positive feelings from just their interest in the script. All this and a fresh batch of (as yet uneaten) babies in one aquarium. I do feel like God's BFF.
