Holy shit.
It’s been such a chaotic last five days. I seriously feel as though the world must be blowing up. Otherwise, why would everyone and everything be so far out of my hands?
Let’s break it down:
1) Work is a mad house. I have so much to do and no time to do it. SO MUCH and NO TIME.
2) There are now auditions on Thursday to replace the girl that had to be booted from the show.
3) My friend, Jessica, came into town for 5 days. I saw her Saturday night and was unable to see her again due to the fact that the world is pretending to fall apart.
4) I got a KILLER migraine yesterday and put myself farther behind with everything. Instead I lay clutching my head for about 11 straight hours in a warm, completely dark room.
5) The power came on for me on Friday, but because of the outage, I was unable to go to the dermatologist, I lost all of the food that I just bought, AND my office was closed. Thus making the world start to fall apart.
6) My apartment was a revolving door all weekend. People in, people out, people all about. It was nuts and eventually I had to run away from it all.
7) The Theater Company has decided to lease their own rehearsal/performance space for the next couple of months. This is GREAT news for them, but it totally adds to the chaos. Kelly is thrilled with the space. I have yet to see it, but know that I will be spending the rest of the next two months there. The only thing that I wasn’t thrilled about is the fact that the space is in Brooklyn. Luckily it is only one subway stop into the borough, but my travel time to and from rehearsal has just increased by a half an hour each way. We will start going to this new space a week from today. I should climb in bed now and sleep, cuz Lord knows I won’t be sleeping again for the next 8 weeks.
So much! Eh?
Also, I am so broke. Like, penniless. It has been so hard to survive this month for some reason. While I am THRILLED to be going to the Poconos over Labor Day with my friends from college, I still don’t know how I am going to afford it. I have to talk to my friend Rita about it. My heart is pounding with debt fear and I don’t yet know how to handle it. She will make me feel better. She always does.
Now that I have spit all of that out…
The power outage, while being slightly irritating, was just about the coolest thing to happen in a while. NYC was drenched in blackness for a whole day! I ended up going over to Ari’s, drinking a bottle of wine, and catching a cab to my house around 12:30am. Talk about SPOOKY! Times Square was completely empty of both cars and people. It was like 28 Days Later cept with less human brain eating. You understand. Everyone banded together and treated like one big holiday. I wasn’t afraid for a second. It was an inconvenience for me, but was cushioned by the fact that everyone, regardless of economic status, race, sexual orientation, was stuck in the same position. It’s like the one time during life when we are all one in the same.
Since I had no power, I called everyone I knew when I got home, but no one was around. Probably in bed, since it was close to 1am when I finally made it into my apartment. I was convinced that there would be a killer hiding in my apartment when I got inside, but there wasn’t. Just rotting food and a freaked out cat. I threw both in the garbage and made my phone calls.
Hope everyone else is doing well. I feel so out of the loop.
Time to get my work done and jump back in.
GAH!
Oh. And also
ACK!
