Updates

Sophia finished her two days of acting workshop and found out it wasn't so hard, it wasn't so scary, it was ok after all. But she also found out that she doesn't enjoy exercises all that much without the purpose of a performance as a reward poised at the end of it. Almost as if it doesn't have enough meaning all by itself. Yes, she learned something, but it wasn't all that new, after all she had worked with the Michael Chekhov method with David and Fern, in fact that's pretty much all she does know about acting. But also she could see how this approach was something of a revelation for the other participants... and it sounded like that confirmed for her that this is valuable stuff she knows and now she was taking more of this good stuff in on a deeper level...

Not so bad a result.

Constantin reported this morning her mood is really up and down. Interesting that for the first time in 15 years he now has his finger on the daily pulse and sees her every day at work in his store. She apparently signed up for another longer workshop at the end of August. Two weeks long. She even met the person who runs this program at the event this weekend and walked up to him and introduced herself and found him to be super nice. That must have helped.


Over in Hamburg, earlier today Papi has gone to his second Cintigraphie (however you spell that)... which seems to be the word they use for MRI. This will reveal the functioning of his still draining kidney, and determine whether or not it can stay in the body. The best case scenario seems to be for her to just go to sleep permanently. The she could stay as a silent kidney in his body. If on the other hand she keeps on trying to work, even just as little has she has been spluttering along, passing no more than 20 ml of liquid per day, the ureter, which seems to be the cause of the problem, could clog up again. This would then create a backlog and could turn into more inflammations. In order to prevent that from happening she would have to go.

I think he is still a bit afraid of that. Soon we'll know more.
