#84 knowing almost every box office manager in town. Reserving tickets with a text message.
#85 constant sunshine
#86 big billowing white puffs of breath for at least 3 months of the year.
How on earth am I possibely still awake??? And this is just the beginning.
No alarms tomorrow. I will sleep until my bladder wakes me up.

I have lived in Saskatoon for coming close to 12 years. I have lived in Saskatchewan my entire life. Today marks (roughly) my last 90 days of being a resident of the Prairies. I am so excited about going but don’t want to lose sight of what I am leaving behind. So to help remind myself I am going to try to post 90 things I will miss about the gap, and the place that I have spent 30 years of...

It’s a Neko Case kind of day.
Sure seems silly to sit here with big tears...

Good day to read my upcoming play. It’s all about fear… At least I know that if we’re going to be scared we can be scared together…

With yesterdays worries breaking me down into a big crying camotose wreck.. today I am having a hard time getting my motivation back.
The difference these days is that even though I push myself away from letting Rob know that this is what’s happening in my head… I manage to be able to break down and tell him. And he is amazing at just holding on tighter when that happens.
Trying to...
Sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus that will take me to my first theatre meeting in Victoria.
Eek! No big deal right???
Its amazing how setting off on your own to buy groceries all by yourself can make a new city start to feel like home.
Week 2. Nearly every theatre company in this town contacted. Grocery store located on foot without Rob’s navigation. Leftover Veggie Chilli and an eggnog pound cake in the oven… Not too bad.
(except how much this gas oven scares the life out of me!!!)
All morning on the phone with every theatre company in town. Ugh.
This afternoon I am going for a walk to the grocery story, rain or not…

Day 28 - A skill I’d like to learn
Any musical instrument. Probably starting with the guitar… but being able to actually play the harmonica would be pretty killer… and my interest in the banjo has really piqued these days too…

Day 27 - Myself, a year ago.
According to this…
“Yep. Still breaking my heart.
In case we were keeping score.”
Sad.
(and according to Facebook it looks like I’ve had the stomach flu on Christmas two years in a row…)
Day 26 - Something I am looking forward to
Tough one hey? Landing in Vancouver, and every day after for the next 4 weeks… 4 more sleeps.
Day 25 - The contents of my purse
This is tricky because I am barely done tour and then straight to being on holidays and haven’t had much need for any purse… so the contents are still divided between my every day purse and my tour bag.
Tour bag still contains - change purse full of change, pack of gum, Accutane blister packs, Hemp Hand Protector, non-drowsy Gravol, Avojuice lotion,...
Catch up time!
I managed to not miss a beat on tour and then the stomach flu struck me down just in time for Christmas. So here I am catching up on the days missed…
Day 23 - Eight Things you didn’t know about me
1 - Well… the vomit phobia is out… to add to that, as Dani asked after the stomach flu struck me down (on the 23rd)… yes. Even my own vomit. I cry, I...

Day 21 - Something I never tire of
The sweet sound of harmonica.
Day 20 - A childhood anecdote
My Dad used to tell me when I was too young to stay up on New Year’s Eve that if everyone wasn’t in their own beds by midnight they would go back in time like in Back to the Future… I’m sure it stemmed from us watching Back to the Future every New Year’s Day and me desperately wanting to go to Grandma’s until midnight to see what...
Brand new! Now if you click on My Instagrid under my blog’s title… you can get to all of my Instagram pictures!
With that, it is most certainly time for bed. Only 2 more tour mornings… and then it is all Christmas all the time :)
