Thursday musings

I am on the couch with an ice wrap and on ankle and a kitty fresh from my belly. I don't have to be to Davis until 10:30 or so, so I have a bit of time. I was going to try and get some doctors appointments in before my health insurance with the university ends on the 23rd, but I really needed a morning in. I have been working myself WAY to hard and I have to let this ankle heal.

The show is going well, but we will need every ounce of the week that we have left until preview. At least at the theatre the set is coming in in pieces and there's still nothing "tricked out" about the golf cart. It makes it a little difficult to rehearse since we really don't know what we can play with.

My apartment is still quite a disaster area. I am trying to get things put away and organized, but I need help. My parents get into town in a few weeks, so that will be great. I will also have time once the show opens since I will be done teaching in Davis. I trust the ankle will heal quickly, so I can start pounding the pavement and look for a job. My guess is that I will temping and grabbing an agent so I can make money and start getting out there as an actor.

The weather has been good. Nice in the mornings and evenings and not too hot during the day. Or at least my time outside has not been too bad. It's pretty amazing the difference in temperature on my route. Last night I left Walnut Creek and it was 83 at 10:30PM. When I got back to Berkeley at 11 at was 67. I was worried that it would be super cold here, but luckily it's not bad.

Scheduled a home massage tomorrow and then plan to gather with one of Julia Levy's friends from NY. I may see Randy in the evening, as well. We will see. The Bay Bridge closes tonight for the weekend, so this may be interesting. I have a feeling that traffic will be a nightmare.

But I have to get through today first. A nice drive to Davis, lunch with Jennifer Chuang, 2 classes and then a stress-free rehearsal at the studio.

Here's hoping!
