I know that’s a very weird title and a kind of odd picture to post of the new doorstop or the fixed doorstop…. cuz I got so frustrated from that door closing on me but I finally had Bill put in, not one but two, new doorstops to make sure that stupid door stays open! It took me like a month of being annoyed to finally fix it, which is kind of not like me right? I mean, I see the problem. I address it. I fix it. I move on. I’d like to think I’m that kind of person but I’m not always… hence the losing my mind and putting two doorstops on a single door! (just a side note: Albert’s also thrilled that I did this so it’s not just me that’s crazy lol) (Being a business owner is weird. The oddest things thrill you…) It is an interesting analogy with your life. I mean, sometimes you’re just being annoyed by things and you feel like you can’t fix it or you can’t just stop and pivot and address the problem because life is just happening so quickly, you just can’t deal with the nonsensical bullshit cuz you don’t have that 2 hours just to stop, go to the hardware store, buy the freaking thing, and put it on! Or in my place: stop and hire someone to do it because I don’t like to do mechanical things…. 

But it’s also like a thing about working on a script. Sometimes I just hit these stumbling blocks with scripts…You just have to stop and say: what’s the core problem? what is the structural problem? why can I not see how these costumes work together?  (and by the way if this is for my new possible cruise ship show Ready for the Orgy in which I’m just basically doing a giant striptease which either means I have to get really comfortable with my body or lose a lot of weight but we shall see) 

But it’s also about sort of your spiritual life and sometimes your spiritual practices. It goes back and forth, the taking of time, so we set alarms we do this, we try, and then we get stressed out about not stressing out! Or stressed to de-stress which is not cool! So I just want to take a moment to remind myself in this post STOP, take a breath. What is annoying you or challenging you that you can fix and do something about? So often, the little things add up, all the little voices add up to being stressed out. Major problems you handle…. you handle. you deal with! It’s all the little nitpicky things that sort of start driving you slowly insane! So here’s a note to myself to put on a doorstop that works and use it when I have to! 

I can I’ve also started my travel plans for Crete and reading about Minoan civilization so I can tell some really cool stories when I’m there. I’m trying to not prep too much… I kind of want to be moved by the mountains and caves but I also want to do enough prep I know what the fuck I’m looking at?!? Yeah it’s a kind of a big undertaking to go to Crete by yourself and do all the things I want to. But I’m feeling good about it. I want to tell more stories…. or should I say stories from The Cauldron! LOL which is going fabulousl BTW Okay this is a little update.
