Wandering Mind

Two this morning, one was a first timer…so not really a practice for me.  But I’m still sore and tight from taking so much time off I’m sure my body needed the rest.  And I still did nearly all the standing and finishing…  It will be interesting to see where this leads.  If I can get them comfortable with the series I can practice with them, otherwise I’m going to have to make some choices.  A 4:30am practice is not appealing so I may just “teach” on two days a week and allow the other three to be my own time and then vary/shorten my practice on the teaching days.

Short day at work today and then off to Florida with the Blonde Lady for my dad’s wedding, then back tomorrow night and work on Sunday to strike the set… It’s going to be a busy weekend…  I actually had a dream about strike last night (strike being where we tear down the set).  In strike I’m in charge of 142 students and about 8 faculty members and I have to make sure that everything happens safely and quickly.  In my dream I was sitting in the house of the theatre and I asked my boss what time it was.  He said it was 8:00.  well strike started at 4:45 so it should have been done and I looked down on stage and it almost was.  But I didn’t remember any of it.  I said “is strike done?” and he said “yes, but you did horribly and you were extremely rude to a lot of people.”  “But I don’t remember any of it”  and he starts giving me shit about how I did my job.  I thought to myself that this must be a dream.  I would never to a bad job nor treat people badly.  I knew this wasn’t reality.  But I couldn’t wake up.  I just kept going through the motions of the next couple of days dealing with the aftermath of how horribly I had done my job.  And I still couldn’t remember…  How could I forget?  How could I do so horrendously?  And then I woke up and I had to think for a while whether or not this was real and it was two days after strike, or a dream………….
