LOOKING FORWARD to APRIL

This week I went to Stillwater YMCA.  It was a bit of a stretch to do Zumba twenty-five minutes from home, but I justified it because UBER offer sends me farther distances and I was in the mood to dance.

The instructor was quite good, we danced in a dark room with 20 other people and I got a good luck at this YMCA and what it offers.

On Thursday, I did improv comedy online with two special guests. One was from Greece and the other from Canada.  The one from Canada had a British accent, which I thoroughly enjoy.  We did a lot of scenes where we were either plumbers or women who had it out with their spouses.  It was fun. I included the link below for your entertainment.

I also spent time searching the apartment for amy son's toys, including tennis rackets, batteries for remote control cars, and nerf guns.  Then the both of us had a blast chasing one another with the toys.

I drove a bit for UBER and picked up some high school students. There were students who had been dismissed for fighting.  I remember in my early student teaching days breaking up fights that would happen between hall passing, or lunch hours.  I tried not to engage with my passengers about their profound abilities to fight a classmate, but listened in as they described the fight scene to a friend over the phone.

Happy National Librarian Day

On Saturday we recorded improv: Scenes From a Hat. We had comedian Craig O'Connor join us. These recordings can be fun because we get to know a everyone and this time I played a reporter interviewing a character who was collecting turtles after a flood, and I played a kindergarten teacher whose students were more interested in an activity called eating paint.

Scenes from a Hat (improv)

On Saturday we had Spontaneous theater. We write monologues and perform them the same day (similar to SNL). The theme was elevators. A lot of the monologues were people stuck in an elevator.  I have been stuck in an elevator a few times, but the thing I remember the most is having our tenth story elevator fixed.  I learned that there is something called The Pit at the bottom of elevator shafts and these pits need to be cleaned because of all the waste drained from the elevator.

LOOKING FORWARD to APRIL

This week it snowed for the last time (I hope). We got like 6 inches in Minnesota, and I went out on Saturday and took one look at the snow and went back to bed, until they plowed the parking lot. 

Then I drove for ride-share and noticed a sand truck flipped over with sand pouring over the highway.  Luckily I was on the other side of the median. I went home after that.

But it's been an interesting week.  I got a transmission flush to keep up on the car maintenence, and had a joke with the mechanic there after he hoisted my car up, I realized that I may need my house key so I could go home and wait for the mechanics to finish and he said I  could break the window of my house and climb in, and I was like:

 "I live on the tenth floor of my complex" and he was like " Climb the drainage pipes."
