Where the heck have I been? Has it really been 2 weeks since I blogged? I have so many ideas on which to blog because my family and I have been through so much since I last wrote an entry. Of course we are all in the middle of the nation’s financial crisis and it seems like the news changes hourly! Since “Black Wednesday” there has been so much financial chaos on Wall Street and the effects are now being felt on Main Street. We are all awaiting to see what happens on Thursday, the first day back to work since the Jewish High Holidays.
My uncle lost his best friend and partner of 33 years 2 weeks ago. My sister’s husband and one of my favorite people in the whole world, Uncle Dave, had a stroke. We looked at a public school for our daughter and had to make a choice as to where we were going to send her to school for the rest of the academic year. My unions are back to fighting and a possible strike once again looms over Hollywood. My husband saw his doctor yesterday and now has to have a surgery he has been able to avoid up until now. Throughout it all, I have been auditioning for TV shows and have had some great stand up spots in town. I have been managing my home during financially tough times.
No wonder I haven’t had a chance to blog! But I have missed it. Those of you who journal know just how therapeutic it can be. I will be blogging on all of this and more. I am having a cup of coffee while my little girl sleeps well into the weekday morning. We were all up until 4 A.M. with the noise the wind makes when it whips through our canyon. My poor husband didn’t sleep at all. He was like a guard dog over his family trying to figure out if the noise was actual damage to the house! I look forward to sorting out the thoughts in my head and sharing with you.
