My apologies dear readers.
Things are going on, and I'm overwhelmed. Not truly bad...just...more going on in the old brain pan, and when I sit down, my brain shuts off. Or all systems do. I don't have to be 'on'? ok. beeeeew. Shut down.
It's not even really a time thing. I have time to make. Just no energy.
Maybe soon I'll get that energy back.
I'm still here. Now that May is done (oh, it's mid-June??) I have less going on. May was 'circus' month. More literal than figurative!
I was in 3 Lunacy Cabarets, I clowned for 3 days at the International Circus Festival, and I had my first professional (ie, I had a director, and, I get PAYED) clown turn. It was fun. but I'm glad it's over. I've decompressed some (less than I'd like though), and now it's back to my regularly scheduled program.
I've made 3 menu plans that I'll be rotating.
I've committed to 30 minutes of house work everyday.
In a few weeks I'll reveal a surprise.
Stay tuned!

half a dozen
I've started half a dozen posts this week!
I think the problem is that I've got a lot going on in my head!
a list if you will:
-The impending Starbucks promotion.
I hate that this is taking up so much of my brain power. Being conniving is not in my nature. It also saddens me that I need to be conniving for a job I'm practically already doing. And one that is only $1 an hour more than I'm making now.
- I submitted a 15 minute turn to Toronto Festival of Clowns and got accepted!
Now I have 5 weeks to perfect this turn. I feel ill (in a good way!) every time I think about it.
- My new way of eating
No sugar is way hard! Making sure I have food to eat so I don't eat junk is hard. I just have to keep on keeping on, because I DO feel better.
- Baby making
Still going at it. (ha ha)
- Getting to the gym
I need to get fit! No sugar help keep me slim, but I am SO out of shape. Tai chi and weight lifting are in order. Working almost 40 hours a week makes it hard.
- Performances other than Festival of Clowns
I have 2 other performances coming up for Lunacy Cabaret too!! I've done both before, so it's just a matter of rehearsing a couple times.
I'm not sure, other than going day to day, what will make this next month easier.
I'm not feeling too over whelmed. But I find myself split. I'll start one thing, and jump to another.
Focus. I need to focus. Good food will help with that.

chipping away at my ego
Last I left you I had one interview, had been coached and had gotten my period. And felt like crap.
I had a second interview on Sunday with the SM(see below for that these short forms mean) whose store I was being transferred to. I practised my buzz words and jargon and BS in the shower, while making food, while tying my shoes.
I do the interview. I kept seeing his eyes light up. I was saying the right things. In the right way. And when he had a concern, he clarified. It was brilliant. *I* was brilliant. Brilliant enough that in the 15 minutes it took me to get to work to start my shift, he had already spoken to my own SM to say how well it went. She was beaming.
This was my FB status update on Sunday:
"so. apparently the other manager I interviewed with was on crack. (according my now manager, my words though, not hers) I aced this one. unless the DM thinks *I'm* on crack I've got the position. onward and upward and learning how to talk like a corporate douchebag."
Well. I didn't even get as far as an interview with the DM.
Yesterday, Monday, I start work at 10am. My SM is visibly rattled. Everyone is talking about how upsetting the DM can be.
Fast forward to 1:30, when I take my lunch.
My SM tells me what happened.
Turns out, my first interview, the one that didn't go well, counts. The DM has decided that my second interview, the really good one, doesn't, because I shouldn't have done it at all.
She also said that The SM who wants to take me is just desperate and wants someone ASAP.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
My SM fought for me all morning.
The DM called her a bully. A BULLY. *sigh*
Now they are holding me back for a month so I can become more 'results oriented'.
The good thing is I get to stay at my new sore, with my awesome manager who fights for me.
My old SM did not. That is why/how I got passed over for SS in the first place. My old SM didn't stand up for me.
What was interesting was my reaction. I kinda chuckled and said I didn't expect anything less. It would have been great to have been promoted but I've been derailed so many times, maybe it just wasn't right. Again.
Maybe I say this just so I don't go mad, but 'things happen for a reason'. I don't really care to know that reason. Maybe I will save someones life. Maybe someone will meet someone and they will have a baby and they will cure cancer. Or, maybe I needed to make someone smile, so they can make someone smile. Regardless. It makes me feel better, and doesn't hurt anyone.
All this was fresh in my mind last night during Clown Jam. We had a guest teacher who studied with Gaulier. A master clown/performer/teacher who, in short, breaks you down to a raw nubbin. Once there you are built back up. It sounds harsh and terrible (and I'm sure it is!) but John explained it very well. Better than I've heard it before. I had a light bulb moment regarding my own clown performance. And then we spoke about chipping away at the ego. That raw nubbin, that is you, with no ego.
I can take this Starbucks experience and become hardened and bitter. Or I can allow it to make me into an egoless raw nubbin. A smart, savvy, happy, unjaded raw nubbin.
I *know* this isn't personal. I know that because the DM doesn't know who I am. Sure we've met. But she's not my friend, or even colleague.
All I can do is take the sand blasting as a lesson. And rise above.
Also. I be human. I'm still cheesed.

a kitchen sink post
1. It's been 2 weeks eating (mosly) paleo. I've had a few cheats, but I've done really really well I think.
Some things I've noticed so far: I have not crashed! As in, when I get hungry, I feel hungry, my tummy rumbles some, but I don't feel faint or shaky. I don't have to EAT RIGHT NOW. I know this because I was involved in the Toronto Festival of Clowns this weekend and didn't eat regularly. (more on that in a moment!) I have to be more organised with food, but that is coming along. There is *nothing* in a corner store that I can eat. No, wait, nuts. I can buy nuts or sunflower seeds. I haven't gone to a restaurant yet, so I don't know what that will be like. I'm sure it will be along the lines of "Can I get extra salad/veggies in place of the potatoes?"
I *think* my moods have been more stable, but this weekend was a crappy sleeping weekend, late nights, not being able to sleep in, so I'm a wee bit grumpy. I also just got my period, so there was some pms, *but* looking back to the last week, it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, and I didn't get cramps. Day one is *always* crampy. AND there was very little food cravings, and when I have eaten chocolate, it was just kinda ok. My stomach pain was worse than ever, but it seems to have calmed down some. I'm giving myself a month to see how things progress. Or, let's say, to the end of June.
2. CLOWNS! I just spent the weekend with a bunch of clowns and it was rad. It's fun to dance (to a DJ) with fellow clowns (in or out of nose) because they have NO inhibitions! SO FUN. It was nice to see a few people who I met last year, and just to be in the same place more with friends. I was up late and slept little, but it was worth it.
3. There is someone I don't like. This is an awkward thing to write on a public blog, because although you may speak to friends 'in private', you don't announce to a whole room that "HEY! there is someone I don't like...and well, since I'm announcing it to *everyone* I won't tell you who it is!". Regardless, I'm going to continue on and assure you it's is not you (I think...). I find not liking this person (X) frustrating, not just because they annoy the heck out of me, but because in general they are a caring, nice, generous person. I want to yell "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" when X talks. So it's all me. So what the HELL can I do about it? I don't know, because X is part of the community, and as much as I try to distance myself from them, X seems to *always* be there. I feel sad for myself. I know that I'm not going to like everyone I come in contact with, but the absolute RAGE I feel when X is around astounds me.
4. J got a job! yay! he started today with an orientation. I've been working 2 jobs, and am in a bit of a conundrum as to whether I will keep them both. I don't really want to. I'm feeling pretty drained, but we still need to bring our savings back. I figure I'll stay with the gardening until the end of the season (Oct.) and pack away the $.

a rambly update: long and boring or helpful and informative?
I seem to be able to update once a week. This week I've thought several times about writing, but didn't have the huzpah. Today I work at 12:30, so I'm not tired yet!
Miscarriage update:
I did indeed have a partial molar pregnancy. We have to use birth control for 6 months (4.5 to go!) because if the tissue wasn't 100% expelled it can continue to grow, and will produce HCG hormones, exactly like pregnancy. The info I linked to says one year, but I'll be getting monthly blood work (to test hormone levels), and hey, I'm going with my doctor, not the internet on this one! I had been worrying about cancer, but it seems as though with a *partial* mole it's even less likely than a complete mole.
Happy news:
My cousin had her baby Pip. A little scary because he was almost a month early, and breech. She ended up having a C section. Everyone is healthy. That's all I know because they had decided to have 2 weeks of just the 3 of them. Updates to follow! I'm a little envious, but very happy for them. She's the oldest cousin, so I'm glad she got to have this first! I hope I can take *full* advantage of handmedowns next...September/October? (here's hoping!) the best part is my aunt and uncle (Pips Oma and Opa) had been travelling all winter and rushed home to be here for Easter. So glad they are here now.
Clown:
Edith is performing this Thursday for the first time since October. I hope I can fit into her dress!
An acquaintance of mine had started a group for people to 'play'. I'm hoping to join them this year to expand my learning. I've been going to a bi monthly 'clown jam' too. Where a nose of clowns (like a pride of lions, or a flock of birds!) get together and run through turns and develop characters. Very helpful and encouraging.
Life:
oh boy! J lost his job in February. This month we are getting by by the skin of our teeth. I am now working 2 jobs. And working 6-7 days a week. I went back to my old boss and picked up 2 days doing maintenance. And of course...the reason I felt I needed to get second job was because I wasn't getting hours at Starbucks...I had 35 last week. I'm not going to complain about it though, we just hired someone else, so I'm sure my hours will go down again...
J has an interview/test at the place he wants to work at today. it's casual, and J doesn't know what that means...but it's more than he's doing now, and a foot in the door.

ooops, I epiphanied all over my self!
Yesterday I posted this as my status update on Facebook:
"awwww crappit. I just figured out *for sure* that the thing I am most passionate about and lights me up the most is clowning. Why is this a bad thing? other than the fact I will never be a millionaire? well, it's not...but now that I know, I need to be accountable to myself and *do the work*. ignorance is bliss. HELP! (blog post to follow, once I eat something and stop crying) I'd like to thank North (for being a great friend and clown buddy and for posting the link about the clown study, the results of which made me epiphany all over myself), Sketchy and Fesso who are Edith Checkerspot's parents, Lunacy Cabaret, Kitty for being a circus nut and finding the circus scene for me, Jean-Paul Mullet for being a great clown and inspiring me SO much, Toronto Clown for the Clown Festival that has brought so many clowns for inspiration...and you you clown friends. red nose forever. (FUCK)"
So here is my explanatory post!
North posted in mid March on Facebook a link to a short survey titles "clown psychology"
this is what the researcher said:

this is what the researcher said:
Welcome to this Clown Psychology Survey
The following 12 questions are about your experience and thoughts on "theatre clown" (not balloon-animal-childrens-party clowns).
There are no right or wrong answers. I am only interested in hearing your honest experience and perspective. All questions are optional.
By learning about others' experience of clown I will aim to develop ideas of ways clowning can inform psychology and life. If you are interested in receiving information on my research please let me know and I can send you any "discoveries" or ideas once this is complete.
Thank you VERY much for your time.

and the questions where these:
So I filled it out (the first three questions where personal info...like e-mail address, to get more info later) filed it away in the old memory banks.
I got an e-mail yesterday with everyone's answers! (anonymously)
So there I am. Reading everyone's answers, nodding and uh huh-ing. And feeling really *good*.
And I realized that...Hey! this feels good! wait a second, it always does, the learning and listening and watching...
And I promptly burst into tears and said "shit!". I realized that clowning was my passion.
Now, you may be wondering why I started to cry. I started to cry because I have been searching for my passion for as long as I've known that passions existed and most people had them. It was the light bulb moment of "oooohhhhhhh, *this* is what I love".
The "shit" part was in response to, now that I *know* I have to *do*. I am now accountable to myself to not let this get away. To push, and learn and do.
I am not a pusher, a learner or a doer. I've said it before. I am a lazy mofo.
Except.
Except when it comes to things I'd rather be doing. So for now I'm safe. The next little while will be easy. I'll go to the bi-monthly clown jam. I'll save my pennies. I'll perform here and there. My prediction; then things will get hard. I'll have a bad critique (which will be invaluable), or I'll get stuck, or I'll be rejected. I'll have to *work* for it. I'll have to push though the muck and work though my discouragement.
Because I want this.
Not fame, not fortune, not even recognition. I want to feel good. I want to make people feel. SOMETHING. 'cause theatrical clown isn't just about the laughs. It's about feeling.
I think I'm getting off topic though. This isn't about *clown*. This is about passion. I have several people in my life, some of whom I'd call friends, who have followed their passions and have made something of themselves though it. (Sadie, Baxter, Dixon,...)
(now...just to get a little defensive...I'm not saying that people who don't/can't make their living with their passion are doing something wrong! I'm just looking at these people with awe, and respect. You do what you have to do to survive, I respect that in anyone)
It's a scary prospect. How do I navigate this?
I think the first thing is to start (continue) doing it. I won't get good (better?) but not doing it.
I want to take more classes. I need to put a small amount of money away for classes.
And the biggest hurdle for me. Believing in myself.

getting fit!
I'm rather squishy.
I'm fairly thin, just squishy!
I would like to get in a routine before baby making time so I can safely continue to exercise after I'm pregnant. ya. I'm running out of time!
I started this and this.
I'm on the bottom terr for push ups. I couldn't do ONE 'good form' push up. I can however now do 5 knee push ups. just finished week one.
I can, however, do squats. I'm on the top terr for that!! woo hoo! but I lack stamina. So although during the initial test I could do 40, doing 5 sets of 13-20 is hard...
I'm still hooping with Sadie. I'm feeling pretty challenged! I've added another challenge, in that I want to add hooping to my clown turn...what!? oh, I have a clown character...she only has one turn ('turn' is what clowns call an act/routine). the challenge is that I'm performing at Lunacy Cabaret on Feb. 19...buhbuhbuh!
I had planned on starting circus conditioning with Kalen...but I started a meditation night with a friend. Gotta exercise the mind too!!
On top of that, I'm doing yoga podcasts a few days a week. Trying on Tuesdays and Thursdays, my off days for the push ups and squats, and today, I did it all!
And I feel GREAT. The big challenge will be to continue when I start work in the spring! eeee!

I had planned on starting circus conditioning with Kalen...but I started a meditation night with a friend. Gotta exercise the mind too!!
On top of that, I'm doing yoga podcasts a few days a week. Trying on Tuesdays and Thursdays, my off days for the push ups and squats, and today, I did it all!
And I feel GREAT. The big challenge will be to continue when I start work in the spring! eeee!
