This is all I’ve got for you.
Yesterday was gray and rainy here in Hartford. I also worked all day long and it was dark by the time I emerged from rehearsal.
This morning, I’m doing some work and gathering my things together so I can load up the car when I’m back from rehearsal. The cast is quite talented. One cast member is a former student in the MFA program in San Diego and I worked with him about 8 years ago. He’s a lovely guy and it’s great to see him again. Everyone else is new to me, which is always exciting.
I have to do a lot in very, very little time. It’s almost impossible to coach this way, but I plan to rise to the occasion and do my best. I love Elizabeth’s adaptation of Jane Eyre. I think she’s done a great job. She’s also the director, so it’s definitely a project from her heart.
I’m done around 3 this afternoon and then I’ll walk back to the apartment and get my car and start the drive home. Don will have dinner waiting, bless him. I miss him and my little cottage and can’t wait to get back home.
But first, coaching.
Happy Wednesday.

Safe drive, Claudia. You’ll welcome being home! I have not been commenting as I’ve been busy taking care of Dad, who’s in hospice. And Mom finally comes home from hospital after a week and a half stay. My sibs and I are alternating living at Mom and Dad’s to take care of them. Thankfully, our hospice care providers are very good. I’m going home tonight and already anticipate a long hot shower (instead of quick ones), leisurely meals (instead of eating on the go), and best of all, my own bed. I start the cycle again in 3 days.

Thanks, Kathy, for your kindness.

Bless you and your family. I know this is a hard time for you all, but you are together in every sense of the word. Thinking of you Wendy and sending prayers for your father and mother. Much love to you.
Wendy T says
Thanks, Claudia. Mom is now home and already being the boss! I’m headed home for 2-1/2 days but they’ll be busy ones, shopping and prepping meals for next week for my parents.
Claudia says
Take care, Wendy.
