I have some good (not great, but good) news.
The other day - who calls me? Low and behold, Maxine Lapiduss. For those of you having trouble recalling this name, please see this blog entry:
She asked me if I was working and I said not currently, but I am leaving on the 24th to go on tour with a musical.
I am going to be her part time assistant between now and when I leave for the tour. Yes, it's a little bizarre, but its some cash in hand (I haven't had an income since the first week of June, so you will have to understand this professional compromise).
Other than this recent development lately, I have been very busy lately getting things started for the tour and exercising (25 lbs down since the start of Challenge: 100!) and having fun. It's a little boring at home, but I am slowly becoming more and more productive and developing better work and sleep habits than I have been exercising lately.
This Thanksgiving I am going to cook my own turkey! How exciting is that?! Everyone is cooking something, and Derek's parents are coming out here to celebrate with us, but I get the Turkey! I guess I better not screw it up. It's kind of important, ya know?
Oh, and if there is anyone residing in LA that doesn't have a place to go (or can't get there), please feel welcome in our celebration! We are going to borrow a few tables from Derek's work and push them together to make a big square and it's going to be awesome. :)
I will be very interested to hear about what you'll be actually doing for maxine! glad it worked out. it might be very good for her financially to just have this short-term commitment to you just go give her an idea of your value without a bit cash commitment, at least for now. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI will pass your T'giving invitation to a cousin of Nora, Nell, SHeila Flynn who is also in show business in LA. Also, as a turkey master, I would be happy to advise you on the roasting of the bird!
