i woke up at 5:17 this morning, just lying there, not going back to sleep. i thought i\u2019d get up and write on this site, but i then thought, no, you MUST GO BACK TO SLEEP.<\/p>\n
i repeated this to myself over and over for the next couple of hours. i wasn\u2019t doing a good job of listening to myself, not at all.<\/p>\n
finally, i got out of bed at 8:30 so i could get my hair done. the only time my sister had to do it was at 9:30, so here i am at her salon, my hair neatly pin-curled and the rest of me sort of ready to collapse. will i be able to nap when i go home? i\u2019ve never tried napping in the morning.<\/p>\n
i was also very hungry this morning at 5:17, and i haven\u2019t yet eaten anything. maybe some food would make me more alert.<\/p>\n
last night some of the people in the cast went to the barrelhead. i decided i\u2019d order myself some food, but then decided against it because it\u2019d instantly make me balloon up. instead, i had a couple of drinks, and my husband in the play, Brett in real life, shared his tater tots with me. i kept saying, “thanks for sharing, husband.” it was really quite nice of him, as he probably save me from getting quite drunk on an unexpectedly large\/strong margarita.<\/p>\n
i didn\u2019t stay out really late because i knew i had to get up early, and all the jumping around on stage is a little tiring, and i wanted to be alert. it would be bad if i passed out while executing one of my very professional ballet moves. <\/p>\n
nap and food. food, for sure. <\/p>\n
i\u2019ve come to the conclusion that i\u2019m not an early-morning person, nor a late-night person. i\u2019m a get up at 8:00 person and go to bed at about 11, and maybe have a nap sometime during the day. i try to sleep in later, but i just can\u2019t. and i just don\u2019t like staying up till all hours anymore, and i don\u2019t think i really ever did.<\/p>\n
i once had a boyfriend who stayed up almost all night, till about 4 or five, and then he\u2019d sleep till 11 or so. sometimes we wouldn\u2019t start our evening till 10 or so. i never adjusted to staying up till 3. luckily, that relationship didn\u2019t last terribly long, so i was able to be well-rested once again.<\/p>\n
gee, grace, have you nothing at all to say this morning, and if not, what exactly are you writing for now anyway? i think my brain has gone off to another place without me, and i\u2019m just trying to stay awake till my ride comes to take me home to food\/napping.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s going to be a good show this afternoon, no matter what. i suspect there won\u2019t be a lot of people in the audience since it\u2019s the sunday matinee show, but we\u2019ll do a good job anyway. i do know of at least one person who claims he\u2019ll be there, and so i\u2019m for sure not going to fall asleep on stage.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
