Relatively Early Night

I was sad today when I arrived at work and saw that most of the stage that was there just 12 hours before was gone. Post show blues haven't fully kicked in yet. I'm still far too excited about how well it went and still can't believe that I was a part of it.

I have my flashing star ball thing that the audience got last night, my gold security sticker and plenty of memories to last me a lifetime.

Today I was back to the reality of work sifting through invoices and preparing them for accounts. It was good to be busy again but I've been spoilt by weeks of interesting rehearsals so it was a bit of work getting stuck back into the old routine.

Joe very kindly let me go home early tonight and it was such a wonderful feeling going home in daylight. It was also wonderful to know that I had time to go and get things I'd been meaning to get for weeks at the shops.

Naturally when you run out of laundry detergent you go down to the local shops and instantly go into K-Mart and buy a tub of hair mask, some hair clips, socks and a pair of jeans. Of course when you finally make it to the supermarket you simply must go and browse all the aisles and pick up such items as a bird seed log (for Herman), yoghurt and a set of rechargable batteries. On the bright side I managed to come home with some actual laundry detergent. Two types actually. One's the usual sensitive skin one and the other is a theatre tech's dream. Specially formulated laundry detergent for blacks. I've heard it's good so here goes...

My early night is turning into a bit of a housework night. I've tackled part of the kitchen and gotten stuck into the laundry again.

Like Nomes, I'm feeling kinda restless and I'm still really keen on this moving to China thing because I want in on the next big gig and I want to do everything I can to make sure I'm a good candidate. I also want to be able to have Gene on the next gig because that would be a dream come true and so far the big move is looking like the most efficient way to sait all my desires (travel, improve my Chinese, new life challenge, learning) for now. Money is a slight concern, but I can make enough to go I'm sure of it. If there's a will there's a way right?

On a less enthusiastic or even important note... what is it about cheese flavoured snacks that make them so damn tasty? I had corn chips cravings today and I didn't even get to indulge those because we'd run out at work. Sad panda.

Anyway, having gotten my gripe about corn chips out of the way, I think it's time to focus on enjoying my night off in ways other than sitting in front of my laptop all night.
