Day Thirty-Four

One more week of camp down.
And I am officially half way through with camp.

Morning camp was interesting to say the lest today.Jophia showed up 20 minutes late but luckily she got there before we had to call. We had to put in our high school assistant because one of the kids just could not get his blocking down and it was really important to the show. Lauren felt really bad about it but the kid wasn't all that phased by it. Neither of us had ever worked with a kid that had autism before, and even though he had high functioning autism it was still hard. We then had to hold house for 15 minutes waiting for a parent to show up b/c they where having car trouble. When we where finally able to start I went back stage to check on everyone and we had a kid who was having a stage fright attack and was hiding behind the curtain in fetal position refusing to go on stage. We tried to talk her into going on stage but she wasn't having it. This meant that I would have to go on as her part, so I went off to find a script since I didn't really know her part. By the time I found one and went back to run the lights she had decided that she did in fact want to go on. This was more than ok with me. The show went really smoothly and all the kids and parents seemed to be really happy with it.

I then had to run to get food off lot. I was at the gas station when my boss called me. It was just past one, and that was when I was suppose to be back. I was really afraid that I was going to be in trouble, but all he was doing was calling me to ask me to give someone a message. He must have known that I didn't leave until after 12 30. Thank God.

The second show ran just as smoothly as the first one. We once again had to hold house for a family. But other than that we didn't really have any big upsets. I even got to leave at 4 which was nice.

I tried to go for a run before dinner tonight. But my knee and ankle where not having it. Between the fact that I ran two miles yesterday and the fact that the weather is changing up here, they were not happy. So after a mile my ankle gave back and I had to hobble back to lot. I guess I can't run for 5 days in a row and expect my body to be happy with me.

This weekend is the first weekend I will have with someone to hang out with and I am very happy about this. Even though we will not be celebrating the 4th of July until Monday it will still be a fun weekend.


I have been reading a new book for the past week. It is called A Million Little Pieces. So far its a really good book, but I don't know if I am going to be able to bring myself to finish it. The book is about a man who ends up in rehab. Its an autobiography and is very detailed. Its more than someone disturbing most of the time. Its something that is very hard for me to read because of the people in my life that I know are lucky to be alive. And even though I know that I should look at a book like this and see that someone made it out ok, it is still hard. I guess because it makes me think of my own demons. The ones that don't want to go away. Its the same type of habits, its the same train of thought, its just a different medium and that in itself is a very scary thought. None the less I would still recommend this book to most people. I know that once I finish it I will be happy that I read it. Who knowns maybe something in there will help me or let me see things from a new perspective.
