Day 149 - Arms Open Wide

My favourite 'upward curve' shot

It was a day that went on an upward curve - the best way. 


I finished reading a novel this morning. I only started it yesterday and it was quite fat. The reason that was the bottom of the curve was that I had big plans for the day - especially on the getting up front. I had a list, a schedule, things to achieve. But I had a head that felt like a cardboard box and I'd been awake, more or less, from about 2am, so all of that went out of the window and the book was my companion. Done. Read. Good. 


I wrote some emails. I made some calls. I did the things I really needed to do. Not very much more, perhaps, but I did them. Out for an appointment in the afternoon. Oh, out. Wasn't it beautiful out there? What rich air, all peachy and warm. What skies! Such burgeoning going on all willy nilly and mixed up in itself. And the air is so good for cardboard-box-head. It's great. It flushes out the corners, even in the folds. 


Sim card replaced. Well done, Vodafone. Much easier to collect it from the shop that it is to wait for deliveries. They asked me, in a text, how likely I would be to recommend Vodafone to a friend based on today's dealings with customer service. There was no option for 'quite likely, but it's all theoretical because there's no way I'd recommend Vodafone as a whole - go with Orange!' No call from the audition lady, or from the company I must no longer leave messages for (have left them three now, I think. If they're interested at some point in the future, they'll call me back and if not, they won't - it's fine). I'm not sure what response anyone would have got if they tried to phone. A 'non-existent number' message, I think. Would they call back? They might try and get a message to me a different way, but only, I think, if it was a big, fat yes. We'll see. She said 'early in the week'. The audition was the point, for that stage. It was good.

And now I've done a few more things. Left it too late to make a couple of calls. On the advice of a Danish lady from the strange theatre school I've been to for the last two years, I am opening my arms and asking heaven for money (and more than that, for rewarding, interesting, fulfilling work*). When you're ready, heaven... thank you.


* I'm not just standing there with my arms out. I am actively looking as well, like. And lots is on the cards, just not for a while yet. It's all good.
