Normal.

I know this is normal in any job - any profession - to have "love hate" feelings about elements of it...but one of the things I find hard about the field of theatre, sometimes, is that of the weekend / holiday schedule. It's hard not to be able to spend a lazy Columbus Day weekend Saturday with my nieces (and other family members) when I have to go to work instead. Not that I am begrudging the job I've got, I am not ... but it's not your typical work day, so ... ya get my point I'm sure.

Anyhoo, I'm, as I've said for the past two posts, exhausted!

DRAT and I've not yet called a friend back who called ... and she asked me a theatre question to boot ... but now I'm sitting in a room above my two sleeping nieces, and the floors are not exactly thick so I won't be calling her back right now. MUST REMEMBER TO DO IT TOMORROW!

Goodnight!

Fourteen Hour Days

Fourteen hour days shouldn't exist - strike that - fourteen hour WORK days shouldn't exist, UNLESS from the moment the day begins until the day ends, you don't have to travel anywhere! Ha!!!

Rehearsals going well. We've got an expo tomorrow night that we're performing an excerpt from the show for, that will be fun! :)

Drama Kidding - parent observations today, they went really well!

Sleepy me = bed time ... gotta be up early enough to do a site visit tomorrow morning before going to the theatre, then figure out how we're packing up the van, and exactly what costume bits need to travel with us ... then rehearsal ... then break ... then expo set up ... then break or something ... then expo ... then strike and bring everything back to Cap Rep and unload the van. Phew!

Goodnight!

And already I'm a day behind ... what?

Right so yesterday was my day off and as you can see from the fact that there is no October 2nd posting ... well ... I TOOK THE DAY ENTIRELY OFF!!!!!!!! Boy was I tired, I literally did nothing all day long. Weeeeeee!!! :o) It was great.

It's also great to be so busy, especially since it's all theatre related! Oh yeah.

Rehearsals still going well.
Drama Kidding going well - and doing it when I can around my SM job.
Found out I've already got two kids who've signed up for the December 24 Hour project at the HS in G'ville. :)
And getting going (slowly now) with the MS Play.

Ok, and that ... for the moment is that!

For me it's a fest of theatre ... mostly, ha ha ha!
Rehearsal's going really well.
And I'm looking forward to sleeping until I can't sleep any more tomorrow morning - or say 9am!!! :)

Happy Welcome October and Fall (it was chilly today)!
