| | Two more weeks.
Just two more weeks of "Rumors" and two more weeks until a "stay-cation." I will have all of Thanksgiving week off from work and all I can think is "sleep, sleep and more sleep." I'm glad our show has opened because now I can try and make myself get into bed before 10pm on weeknights, preferably 9pm, so I can get a full 7-8 hours sleep. I'm tired of the always tired stuff. People have been asking "What show are you doing next?" and I really don't want to do one for little while. I could audition for "Monky Business", which is a musical just like "Nunsense" but with monks, at Hudson Players, but #1 - I'm taking a full two and a half weeks off to go home to California for Christmas and New Years which might be too much of a conflict for the director to want to cast me, and #2 - I don't know that I want to be driving to Hudson and back 4 or 5 nights a week in the winter. That might be a little too much stress for me - especially when I could be in warm fleece jammies at home watching the snow fall outside without having to be driving in it!
Another reason I might not want to do a show yet - I'd like to schedule myself for a sinuplasty. I've thought about it for a while and the procedure is supposed to be very easy and you're only out for a couple days. I would like to know what it's like to be able to truly breathe through both nostrils. What a concept that would be. I'd like to be thinking only of that and not any shows if I'm going to have that done, so that might be another good reason to not do a show right now. Besides "Monky Business", there really aren't any shows being done anywhere that are interesting me in any way. The next show I have planned is in May, so rehearsals would begin March/April. That would mean being at home most of winter and not freaking out trying to drive when it's blizzard time. I only wish the RTA Rapid Trains went even further out into the suburbs than they do.
One more reason I'm looking forward to having Thanksgiving week off - "Wicked" will be in town again!! I know, I've seen it 5 times, but it's my favorite musical next to "Ragtime" and I saw "Ragtime" 5 times and would see it more if I could. In fact, the revival opens again on Broadway this month and I hope I get a chance to see it again!
So for now, off I drag myself to work, having only gotten 5 hours sleep again - my fault for trying to catch up on all the shows I have on my DVR that have been waiting all this time during rehearsal. Tonight, as tempted as I might be to watch "Castle" while it's on, that would mean staying up to 11pm, so it will have to wait until tomorrow night. Instead, I will try and get ready for bed right after "Heroes"! If I can't fall asleep right away, I have discovered melatonin, something Chris White recommended to me. It's natural, non-addictive and I find that I only need half a tablet to do the trick.
*yawn*
Oh, favorite moment during Saturday night's performance? When an actor accidentally said, "They're driving in the talkway" instead of "They're talking in the driveway." I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing - not that I haven't had my own word-twisting moments onstage!
