Taken from the bus window: proof that spring has come to NYC.
These last two days have been exhausting. I was already suffering from lack of sleep, but Sunday night was the worst. A combination of me worrying about getting enough sleep and Don sleeping noisily (he’s sick, but he’s a noisy sleeper most of the time) was the problem. So I came downstairs to sleep on the sofa and I think I got less than 4 hours. It was a very, very long day in the city and I didn’t get home until 9:30 pm. I was so tired that I just took a bath and went to bed.
Yesterday, I had to get up at 5 am to get to a 10 am rehearsal call, so I was still operating on about 1 cylinder. Thankfully, I only had to be there for an hour, so I got home around 1 pm, whereupon I sat in my chair in a catatonic state and eventually took a nap. Last night, I had a better night’s sleep and I coach in the afternoon today. I will still have to leave fairly early due the weird bus schedule, so I’ll have to kill some time before rehearsal. I’ll be done by 5 and will hopefully get home by 7:30 pm, which means I can have some dinner with Don.
It changes every day.
Anyway, as I’ve always said, the coaching isn’t the problem; once I’m coaching, I’m in the zone and I love it. It’s the damn logistics of it all with so much travel every day.
I really haven’t had any time to do anything but commute, work, come home, sleep, and do it all again. So that means I don’t have time to answer your comments, but I do read them, my friends, and appreciate them.
Don has the equivalent of a bad head cold and he’s pretty miserable. I’m not feeling tip top either, but we’ll get through it.
The cast is very nice, as is the support staff; stage managers, director, etc. We have a lot to do in a very short amount of time, but that’s okay. I work best under a wee bit of pressure.
I’ll try to get some more egg cup pictures when I can. Do you want to see my more traditional egg cups? Some of them are quite pretty. Let me know.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
