Blow Winds and Crack Your Cheeks.

It is tech week. This means for the next 7 days I will be considered certifiably insane.
I forgot to eat today until about 10:40p.m. when my stomach was growling so audibly I could no longer ignore it.
I spent the entire day thinking about King Lear and only King Lear.
I did not miss anyone.
I did not stress about the fact that while I am not eating poor Nora is also not eating.
I did not worry that you can no longer see my bedroom floor due to the ever growing pile of dirty laundry.
I got confused, I got frustrated, other people became frustrated with me, I yelled, I praised, I hugged, I was angry and I celebrated.
I love what I do.
I am getting paid nothing but I am working with some of the most inspiring, creative, talented and beautiful people I have ever met.
Theatre will probably get in the way of every relationship I try to form.
My friends will be convinced I have abandoned them, my partners will think that I love my work more than them, and my pets will think that I care very little about their well being.
At some point all of these thoughts will be true.
I love what I do. The theatre is my one true love.
Theatre is my sadistic mistress.

Aw :)

I miss you - but I'm really happy that you love what you do. I've said it before, but it makes such a difference; life is just better this way.

Eat something, puppy.
