*heavy sigh*

Today was just one of those days. It started out good enough - but then again, they always do. Then the show that we had tonight just went downhill in some aspects, although it was pretty dang good in others. And, like, 99% of the stuff that I know went wrong wasn't my fault. And it doesn't help when Mindy, the stage manager, gets *that* tone in her voice when she wants to know what happened, since it makes me all the more stressed and stuff. I'm sure I'm being harder on myself than everyone else, but it doesn't help when it seems like most of the time I get the whole "what went wrong?" instead of "x, y, and z were really good, but what happened with aa?" I'm supposed to go in tomorrow morning and have a meeting with Rich (the sound designer/production manager and one of my bosses no matter how I look at it) to go over this stuff. I hope it goes well. I'm just so stressed out and numb at this point that I don't know how to feel or what to do to relieve some of this.

And it doesn't help that my butt/the backs of my upper thighs hurt, I have a headache, and the energy has been drained from my body. (The last time I felt even close to this was when I was sick - really, really sick.) Hopefully I'll feel better after some sleep.

On an upside - whoever thought of indoor plumbing and shower fixtures should get a medal or something. Getting a shower every night when I come home is one of the few things that has helped keep me sane. Also for God - I know that I wouldn't be able to survive - insane or not - if I wasn't able to pray and spend time in His Word. And a third thing - one of my friends has a post-it note on her door that says, "Evil does not wear a bonnet!" (not sure what the context is), but every time I walk by, I think of Mal from "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (I think) and it gives me a little smile.

Well, off to bed to see if my subconscious can get me at least partially sorted before I have to go in tomorrow. And I hope I made some sense to someone and if I didn't, I'm sorry. Please pray for me to survive the next few days at least. And I *so* can't wait to go home over 4th of July weekend (well, the 5th to the 7th).

And my mom got married today.

I'm holding up fine in regards to my mum. It's the freakin' hot weather that's got me down (and the show - but more on that when I update later). And, well, with my mum one can never be sure. She wanted me to come home for it, but when we had the conversation a couple of weeks ago, it basically went like this:

"John and I got the marriage liscence today and we're having it on Wednesday, June 25th, since they're not open on Fridays. Do you think you'll be able to come home?"

"I would like to, Mom, but I have rehearsal for Glass Menagerie that night and it opens on Saturday, so I don't think it'll be a wise idea, even if they do let me off."

Turning on the whiny, guilt voice, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Mom. It's not that I don't want to come, just that it wouldn't be the best idea."

"Well, we're thinking of having a reception on the 28th (Saturday), do you think you'll be able to come to that?"

"Mom, the show opens on Saturday."

"Oh."

And it wasn't like she had double-checked with me. She knew I was going to be away and stuff and if she had wanted me to be there, she should've tried to coordinate it or waited until I got back.

I wish you were both here. But I know I'll see you when I come home, Bethy. And Regina - you should try to come up some time in late July or something. If not then, we have to get together when I get home. And just thinking about you lip-synching the song makes me laugh. :0P And I do have Susannah's email - do you want me to give it to you?
