The Nutcracker Blur

The Nutcracker Blur came early this year, with the first performances over the weekend way out in the land of no cellphone service and, as it turned out, no landlines either. But a nice venue, one we hadn’t been to in a couple of years, and for the first time there was no blizzard, ice or other inclement weather during the hour ride (though plenty of deer on the road). The shows went off without major disasters (that I heard about — I didn’t watch. I’ve seen The Nutcracker), no one broke anything, and we’re on to the next.

This week. Oy. We’re hosting Thanksgiving, which means cleaning as well as cooking. I sorta started on the cleaning yesterday and got bogged down in one of those “in order to do this, I need to do that” projects, a major distraction that resulted in more chaos, not less. So today: Focus!
