Still Trying

(moved over from dland)

Tuesday, a little after 11. Not even remotely sleepy, I'm replaying tonight's Idol results show, but not paying much attention. The play was excellent tonight; the kids -- the actors -- really hit their stride and were a scream.

Had some tense moments, although nothing bad actually happened. My daughter's high school ex showed up, something we've been anxious about, but magically, there were enough people there to surround her and keep him away from her. One in particular, another friend of thiers from high school whom we hadn't seen in years, just showed up to watch the play and immediately made it his job to keep the ex in conversation and away from my kid. Like an angel, we needed him and he was just there. And other fine folk stepped up, too, to keep an eye on things. And now she's safe at home, she's called me from her locked-in apartment, so I could, in theory, go to sleep.

But I'm wiiiiiide awake. And my alarm is going off in ... let's see, six hours. And I'm not even horizontal yet.

O.Kay.
