the slow healing

things are going along here now.

tonight was fun with close friends, it was relieving.

i wish none of this had happened, but our community meeting was successful, and we're meeting again tommorrow to get ready for the show, discuss the progress of the sound system, and clean.

beyond the accounting for the income from turn the screws, after reminding bob of his glitches early on as 'house accountant' when he neglected to recognize that stane put an extra $2000 deposit on the place, i think he understands that there has never been a foundation for his accusations.

i have been told that he has written that he regrets sending the email, but i do not know the particulars. the damage is done, it is too bad. my heart breaks over and over, but i wish him well.

the results from the house meeting (stane, sean, cory, burgess and i) are stellar.

we have never met collectively in a manner such as this, so i look forward to that being the beginning of a practice instead of only a reaction to a disaster.

this has left us all very exhausted, but now is when we have to work the hardest.

tonight seemed to bring back the normalcy. just the passing of time seems to do that as well. hearing people rehearse and now having stane give his weekly music lesson, makes this place alive again for me. hopeful. stable. supported. even tho we didn't know it was opening night at the theater next door...we're supposed to check their schedule...and they said we were really drowning them out...yikes...

but again, out of that stepping on toes comes the conclusion that i should just put the theater's schedule on the rehearsal calendar so people know when the plays are going on. it's a simple thing that would prevent any conflict with the people next door, but we only recently decided we needed even a rehearsal calendar, so everything is evolution.

i am excited to share the results of our changes, out of ashes, and i must be brave.
