the only thing saving my sanity...

...from disappearing in recognition that I am so totally not ready for tomorrow, is that 3/4ths of what we need is already there, thanks to rehearsals.

However, that also means I have to keep mental track of that which is already there in order to avoid going mad (again) looking for it around the house or garage when its not even there.

Mostly all that's left is garb, evening clothes and personal props (even the rat sticks and my rat are already there).

side note - given all the crapola about the "mnemonic" for the planets having to change to remove the P-word, how about we actually teach the kids to memorize the damn planets directly?  I never had such a mnemonic (the only acronym-based ones I know are EGBDF (lines on a treble staff, but its also a Moody Blues album title), Roy G Biv (and I knew the colors before hearing the mnemonic, so the mnemonic was easy to remember) and OBAFGKM (the classifications of the stars, though I forget what each stands for now...hence why its better to remember the real thing rather than the mnemonic!) and I've kept the planet names in my head since I was 5.

So, no PEMDAS for you then?

no, i had the math priorities (and there are far more than just those 6 if you write software) memorized by the time i was 7. CS major, math minor, physics, chemistry and other applied maths studies. i didn't bother learning "how" to do math as a kid; i simply did it.
