the SED meme and the usual drama

Yeeeeaahhh ... if it's past midnight but I'm still awake, it still counts as Friday, right?

Today I just took care of myself. Stretched, stayed hydrated, ate lots of potassium-rich stuff so I can stay healthy for the play and Christmas and all that. Finished it off with a bowl of hot soup. Yum yum yum yum yum.

Four church friends came to see us tonight, and one of them had a tin of homemade sweets and a Christmas card each for me and Phil. I'm full now, but that'll be my first stop once I get out of bed.

This play is bad for the actors' health, though! ( Getting a little graphic here, so don't click if you're squeamish. )

I get a little narcoleptic in the minutes before a performance. I sit in one of the rocking chairs, and my eyelids get all heavy. I don't think about anything, like my lines or blocking. I just blank my mind out and take in (without really listening) all the babbling of everyone around me. It's very calming, even when my butterflies are at their worst.

Good night, everyone. And happy birthday to my Mom, who first appeared on 10th December several decades ago.
