Washing! Ironing! That is all! 

Beta reading and ironing! The ironing was made easier by watching a programme about Workhouses on my I-pad at the same time. It was so sad watching it that ironing suddenly did not seem so bad after all.

Are you on a keep fit mission or something? Or was your part as an asthmatic?

It seems I... underestimated  the number of flights I would have to scale to reach the floor where the auditions were being held. I was met by the writer (who I already knew) in the lobby who just... the man looked at me like I had lost the plot (and I was so out of breath I couldn't explain myself.)

When I left after the audition the man actually physically led me to the lifts. "Or you could take the stairs again," he said dryly, "Walk or fall. Either way gravity will do most of the work for you."

Well I guess it must have helped run off some of my adrenaline: I start filming in August

Wow! Excellent job! (Not the stairs thing but getting the part). One of my daughter's friends acts but inbetween jobs he is a carer.

Many thanks

Difficult and rewarding job, I have a relative who is a carer. It's one of those things, rather like acting, where it's a vocation. Big kudos to him
 

We're getting ready to go the beach for a vacation!  But why is this a rant?  Because the caveat is that we are taking our 21 month old little boy with us, and he's a bit of a pain right now XD (terrible early two's).  We usually have two kids, but my daughter is spending a month with her grandparents about 500 miles away, so it's just the three of us right now.  Here's hoping we can get our little boy in gear tomorrow morning so we can leave ^^

lots of snacks, lots of stopping at malls or the equivalent to get out and run.  good supply of diapers,
someone sitting in the back seat with him - not so convenient for the parents, but better for him not to be isolated with only the back of mom and dads heads. 

favorite toys of course, dvd player or the like for thomas the tank engine or other equally horrid for parents, favorite videos for toddlers.

Unfortunately, we can't do any of that.  My husband will drive, and I get carsick if I sit in the back.  And we let my parents take the car dvd player with them when they took my daughter down to their house.  We have the snacks covered, though lol.

at the beach, I reccomend a leash.  I know, children aren't dogs.  However, the way I used the leashes was not to lead or drag a kid along, but to follow them, keeping them within reach.  Or stopping them when they were going somewhere they couldn't go.

I totally sympathize with car sick in the back.

We have a monkey leash ;)

Can you get one of those toy stick-on car wheel things for the car. I don't know if they make them anymore but my son loved his because then he could pretend he was driving. Without his sis' he might be a little less frightful, you never know! Have you a CD with kids songs (or other songs he likes) that you can put on in the car? Make sure you take his favourite toy, as well as something brand new and picture/ interactive book/s.

Good luck!

Maybe they should see a brain doc? 

Weekend. Sore throat. That is all.
