On Friday

April 13, 2018 at 9:38 am by Claudia

We’re supposed to have high temperatures in the seventies today. Back down to the fifties tomorrow. Since I have to hang around because someone is coming to look at the sump pump, I’ll be working outside, I think.

Thought I didn’t sleep well last night, as all of the news coming out about Spanky (my nickname for you-know-who) is worrisome. Because we know he’ll try something stupid out of fear – and he’s really, really scared – which might include firing Rod Rosenstein or Mueller today. If that happens, get ready to march, my friends. We cannot allow that. He must be held to account for his crimes. If you saw Rachel’s show last night, you saw a Rachel I’ve never seen before. Very emotional, very upset.

Anyway, I’m more than a bit edgy and I’m drinking my second cup of coffee!

I’m going to make this short, my friends. Just heard the repair guys are headed my way.

Happy Friday.

Over and Done With It

March 20, 2018 at 10:24 am by Claudia

Hi everyone. I’m really under the weather and just can’t concentrate enough to write a post. Also, tomorrow we’re going to be hit by our 4th nor’easter in three weeks. I am so over all of this and I sure as heck can’t shovel.

Think of any cuss word and I can guarantee you I’ve said it in the last 24 hours.

Anyway, I have to force myself to go out and run some errands because I don’t know when I’ll be able to get out again. The predictions about this storm are all over the place so I have no idea how much heavy, wet snow will fall.

I’m over it.

If you don’t see a post tomorrow or the next day, it will simply be because I want to rest.

Happy Tuesday.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

February 25, 2018 at 7:38 am by Claudia

It’s been pouring for the past 24 hours and that will continue to be the case today.

Rainy NYC is not fun. Ah well.

This will be a short one as I have to get going. I’m only spending one night in the city but that involves packing, nonetheless. Poor Don. He has one day off and it’s raining.

I went to bed early after getting frustrated with NBC’s coverage of the exhibition skating. There was a commercial before and after each skate and it was so choppy that I didn’t feel I was getting to see an event. Just clips.

I needed the sleep anyway.

And that, my friends, is all that’s happening. Rain, coffee, grabbing a bus into the city, grabbing some time with my husband.

And meeting my friend’s daughter, of course.

Happy Sunday.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
