Snow and suppositories

Tonight was a delightful evening! Sarah and I attended a free performance of a musical theater class!! It was a small group of five actors/actresses who have been taking classes this fall. One of the students is in our home group, and she invited us to the performance. There were several solo acts, as well as a group improv activity where students weren't given a scene or goal or characters--only some chairs and two tables...oh, and they had to SING ALL THEIR WORDS. I can't imagine how hard that is. The whole event was quite entertaining! It made me want to be in another musical. Not that I'll actually follow through with it, but it's one of those feelings that pops up every now and then to remind you of your interests. If only there were all the time in the world!

BUT THEN! While walking back to Sarah's apartment, WE SAW SNOW!!! There were at first just a few flakes, then more, then it actually felt like winter for a minute! (the day started off with 51-degree temperatures, mind you) It was wonderful! Granted, it wasn't the foot of snow that Holland received today, but it's a start.

In a way I can pretend I have a snow day tomorrow because I have the day off! I have never celebrated immaculate conception as I will tomorrow. Can't wait!

With my day off, I hope to do some picture organization. I'm writing this down today so I'm more motivated to do so tomorrow. So, expect a picture or three!

In other news, Sarah found $20 on the street! I found $0.33 today, but somehow it seems just a little less exciting than her success.

Something else that happened today was less exciting: I had a doctor's appointment. Not just any doctor--a rectal specialist. I have been getting some blood from time to time in my stool, and my med school girlfriend Sarah encouraged me to get it checked out. It turns out I have a small blood clot in there. After several less-than-comfortable probings, he gave me some suppository pills to insert daily and said to come back in a month. Oh, the inconvenience of it all!
