keladry_lupinYeeeeaahhh ... 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! Mallory's skirt is too long, and she finally tripped on it and smashed her knee pretty bad today; we had to hold her hands and distract her while Shannon cleaned her wound and bandaged her up. Shannon's spill on the concrete pathway was yesterday, and she hurt all over today, poor girl. I threw my sciatic out of place last weekend by twisting and climbing stairs at the same time. Bill smashed Dane in the nose with part of the fireplace Sunday night, and he calmly cut off the offending piece of loose skin after the play was over. And that isn't counting the flu that went around the cast during rehearsals. I know I'm forgetting someone there, but it's one in the ack emma, and I'm getting sleepy.
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.
