let's have a musical: part 1

Ever since my triumphant return from the bday67 girls' trip, I've consciously sought out free events for the evenings.

That's partly because of money spent during the trip, but mostly because this is the time of year when property taxes are due. 

So instead of events, I opted for meals out with friends.

I have ended up spending almost $200 on those outings.

Ouch.

Then, on Wednesday, I found out my application for Medical Assistance (i.e., Medicaid to pay my Medicare, Part B, premiums) has been denied.

That's after finding out the teeth cleaning and bite wings are going to be hitting me for $300 instead of being covered by my plan, as that was also to have been paid by Medicaid instead of my Medicare Dual Advantage plan.

Ouch.

I have spent far too much time on the phone about that.

Now, it's Saturday, and I vowed to treat myself to a musical.

 

So I did, with Savannah Children's Theatre having a 5 PM that was perfectly timed.

Their middle school summer camp put on "Disney's Descendants: The Musical" and I was fortunate enough to get one of the last tickets!

i thank You, God.

Plus, it was at the Kennedy Building at Savannah State University, so there was no problem with parking.

i thank You, God.

I really needed this today.

It was a two-act show with lots of sassy children of both the "evils" over on the Isle of the Lost as well as the children of the "goods" in the Kingdom.

i thank You, God, that I was paying attention when the four little blondes ever talked about the TV series this was based upon.

Even so, I had to pay attention during the first act to know who was who.

That made it a perfect distraction from my life.

Kudos to both Tenley Wright and Jamie Doubleday, as 'Mal' and her mother 'Maleficent', both of whom where in full-tilt boogie mode!

Kudos to Ethan Brandon, as 'Ben', son of 'King Beast' and 'Queen Belle', soon to be coronated and wanting to join the Isle back to the Kingdom!

Kudos to Finley Ylisto as 'Evie', bff of 'Mal' and daughter of 'Grimhilde'! 

Kudos to Emily Broom and William Johnston, both playing 'Jay' and 'Carlos', the sons of 'Jafar' and 'Cruella'!

Kudos to Wyatt Williams as 'Jane', the not-so-good daughter of the Fairy Godmother - she was a real rebel rouser!

I'll look forward to seeing them in future productions!

Now, to get home and change shirts before I'm off to a party.

I managed to slop motor oil all over myself when I gave my Saturn a drink.

Arrggghhh!
