It's overwhelming. I won't lie, yesterday was my first rough day here. Don't worry. I still love everyone and everything about this place, it just finally hit me that I haven't really had the time to recharge my batteries in 10 days. If you know me, you know that I need some "alone-time" here and there to just sit, write, read, THINK, whatever. Up here, I hadn't even had time to do laundry, grocery shop, or make a decent meal, let alone chill out. Last night before our 2nd run of Brigadoon, I felt like crying. Certainly not an unusual feeling for me, but one I hadn't experienced since first arriving in Mountain Utopia. Luckily, the people here are amazing, and two lovely individuals, Christina and one of my roommates Aly drove the 20 miles to Granby with me so I could get groceries. It was nice to drive and relax and have someone remind me that it was perfectly ok to be upset every once in awhile.
I woke up at 6:45 this morning to go to my mom's friend's condo to have breakfast and do my laundry. I found it completely refreshing and revitalizing to have that time for myself, so now I think I'll start doing it every morning. Not the laundry and mooching off of mother's friend, of course, but the extra hour in the morning for me.
I'm happy and grateful for good friends and refreshing mornings for myself. I think these two important components of my life will make this summer even more spectacular.
Back to the opening of a show on, oh, FRIDAY. I think it will be good! I'm not going to lie, I'm not entirely used to this whole Repertory schedule yet, but I like the whole throwing it up on to its feet thing. It hasn't had the chance to get stale yet, which, considering we have 20 actual performances to go is a very good thing. Pirates is up and running, and going to be beyond adorable. I forgot how utterly charming Gilbert and Sullivan are.
Today was good. Tomorrow will be, also.
