The Post You've All Been Waiting For
(Yes, you have. You know you have.
SHUT UP. You have.)

So. You remember how I was in a little ol' play? I mentioned that, right? Once or four times? And, then disappeared off the face of the earth for ten weeks or so?

Well, it went down like this:
Play rehearsal, play rehearsal, play rehearsal, play rehearsal.
Play, play.
No more play. Funk for a week while I mourned the fact that there was no one in my real life who would applaud me on a daily basis. Bastards.
Then the family went out of town for a family reunion.
Then I followed Shawn on a business trip to San Antonio.
Then I got the plague. I was sick for about a week. Nearly died. Then I slept for 16 hours (many hours of which I still owed myself from the aforementioned play practice and play). And now I'm better.

I feel like myself again. I hope it doesn't take me four weeks of being useless after the next play before my life returns to normal. Because, let's not kid ourselves, if they'll have me, there will be a next play. And, I'm not sure how long Shawn's sunny, supportive disposition will last with a wife who needs a month of trudging through her regular life and responsibilities before she can construct a coherent sentence. Much less be delightful and charming again. (Shut up.)

But, anyway. For the past week or so, I've been hanging out at the Little Theater again, helping with the sets for the upcoming musical. I'm pretty much like a stray cat they accidentally fed and now they can't shake. Poor, poor unsuspecting people. I think I saw a horror movie that started this way.

Anyhooo... What I guess I'm trying to say is:

I'm baaaaack.

Ah. Darling. The way to skip the whole depressive phase is to jump right in to another show... or volunteer every leftover second you are not using to eat or sleep (note that bathing is optional), and eventually your body will get too tired to mess with your head. Trust me. This works. Of course, it does get problematic when you have to reintroduce yourself to your children once you finally make it home. So. There is that.....
