Just sharing my thoughts and stories…
I am back from vacation.
It was a rough week. There was some stuff going on back in Austin that had me super stressed out. Karen got sick. So it was impossible to just relax and enjoy myself.
Harvey closed this weekend...I thoroughly enjoyed being Elwood P. Dowd to life on stage! Post-show blues are a real thing...and it has me thinking about another closing.
The close of the Greater Tuna National Tour in Arkansas. The final show of the tour was an emotional one. This was my dream gig...and it was ending.
I have always taken on more than I should. I like to be busy. Only recently have I began to realize that while I enjoy being busy, I can't sustain it for long periods of time. Turns out, I need a break every now and then. Who knew?
I was in Central Market this week. I watched a woman completely harass a store employee over pears.
I wasn't really paying attention until I heard a woman's voice say loudly, "I can't believe it. These pears have been mislabeled for weeks. This is ridiculous!" It got my attention because this woman was pissed. I turned and saw a woman pointing at pears and standing very close to a store employee...up in his face.
He said quietly, "I am sorry."
Hot tea...Advil...Tylenol...
The flu sucks...really sucks...
Crawled out of bed...stood beside the bed for several minutes just trying to get my bearings.
This week, Luis and I will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. We were married before it became legal nationwide. And, as is most things with us...it was an adventure.
The color white says, "I am black."
All people who can see color say, "Ah...no...you are white."
I have a great deal of respect for people who go through recovery. It takes an incredible amount of courage to face an issue, fight for yourself, and come out on the other side.
With that said...
Shows that start rehearsals before the holidays...then break for the holidays...then start back with basically two weeks fewer rehearsals than any other show in the season? That suuuuuuuuuuuuucks!!!
