Well not much new or interesting has happened as of yet. Last week I was in the worst mood of my entire life but it seems to have lifted now.
Currently trying to find high heels in sizes 14 and 15 for the guys in the play; I'm sure they'll be thrilled if I can't find any.
We are having a masquerade party after the play and I have to say that I am looking forward to that far more than the performance at the moment.
Happy day - beautiful weather. A bit bored this evening but nothing a glass of champagne wouldn't fix.

JOB!!!
I have a FULL TIME JOB! HUZZAH!
Sorry! It's just been such a long time, and now things will be a bit easier. I haven't told everyone yet because I want it to be a really great, happy surprise.
Also - I will now have to personally make most of the costumes for Man in the Iron Mask. Whew. Not sure how I'll do that plus have a job, but we will see what can be done. Right now it feels like anything could happen!
I have also started to think perhaps things are coming together. Just today I made the decision that my next step - should I not acquire my UK visa - will be to go to Thailand and take a TEFL course. The things I truly love in life are teaching and the tropics, and I feel that both of those would be available there. One of my friends is always telling me that if I write down what I really want good things will happen. So I am writing it down.
And once again, HUZZAH!

Amazing News
This is an interesting post for me because it is about family.
I was adopted; about five years ago I contacted my mother's stepfather and found out that the entire family had muscular dystrophy. He told me that both my mother and father had kept me a secret all this time and they didn't want anything to do with me.
Then, I found my brother and sister via Facebook.
For a while, I was content with looking at photos of them and wondering what their lives were like. One night, after I had spoken to someone at the Samaritans to get my courage up, I wrote him a letter.
He wrote back the following day saying he'd love to get to know me. When we finally talked, he said he'd known I existed for twenty years. Our mother is dying of the disease and he has asked me not to inform our sister yet. It feels very strange to write that sentence about people other than my adoptive parents and sister, but it is nevertheless true.
When I told my adoptive mother that my brother and I were talking, she spoke again to the woman who originally gave me my step-grandfather's information. We started to wonder whether he was telling the truth about everything considering what my brother had said. So she got in touch with the woman's daughter, who gave my my birth father's name. I never knew it, or who he was, and now I believe I have found even further siblings on Facebook.
I am unsure about whether or not I should contact them. It is a dramatic development all the same, and wonderful news after such a long time in the dark.
