cracking up

today in papa’s office, we were having a very serious meeting regarding The Festival. when suddenly, out of nowhere. i laughed. it kind of peeped out. then another. and another! and the next thing i know i’ve got tear balls racing down my cheeks.

i think my body was releasing stress. i’d much rather do it that way than be having bad dreams.

the other night i dreamt that after the children’s drama performance, the audience thought they’d be nice and help us out by stacking all of the chairs up by the walls. when i found out about it, they were done and i went flying in there trying to find someone to help me put the chairs back out yelling [you know, in the slow-mo way of dreams] “wee hhaaaavvve anooottther performance – get the chaaiiiirrrss back out!”

then i tried to get to my boss to tell him what happened so he could make an announcement in the other venue so they don’t do the same thing. but i couldn’t get to him very easily because we created an obstacle course through the hallway that led to the backstage area where he was. we did that to keep people from going back there. turns out, it was me that was trying to get through.

when i finally made it through and i told him what he needed to announce he asked me to write it in a note for him to take on stage w/him. so i wrote it out and then he acted like he wasn’t sure he’d remember to LOOK at the note while on stage and wanted me to bring it out to him at the moment he needed to announce it.

i woke up in a dreadful state.

yeh. i think i’d rather have more laughing fits.
