I'm back.

The play was a rip-roaring success.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's been about 10 years since I was last part of a theatre production, and even more than that since I last acted in a play.

I definitely won't be waiting that long again, although my long-suffering husband has begged me not to do it more than once a year.

It was a pretty stressful time for my family. I was very impressed, though, with how they stepped up and helped look after things.

So now, here I am, back again in the swing of things... trying to wrap my head around making regular meals (the kids did most of the cooking for the last few weeks), cleaning (ditto - although not nearly as much as I would have liked), laundry (again, ditto - because being able to pull clean clothes out of the laundry basket counts, right?).

I'm even contemplating a return to the sewing machine sometime soon; masochist that I am. Apparently sewing 8 dresses, a jacket, two corsets, a petticoat and a chemise within a few weeks wasn't enough for me...

And, obviously, I will again be posting to the blog more regularly!
