The Wednesday from hell!
Yesterday went like this for Joey:
5 am-ish: finally went to bed after staying up all night playing Worms 3D.
God I love that game!
7:30: "woke up" to take Meg to work so I could have the car for the day. I use quote marks because I really didn't sleep much. Mostly fitfull.
8:30: got home and tried to sleep some more. Unsuccessfully.
10:30: got up again, drove to I-17 and Dunlap.
12:00: performed 45 minute long show for Devry. outside, in the hot sun, with landscapers making noise for us to scream over, and an unfortunate lack of any water to help our throats (our fault). Blew out my voice.
1:00: gave a talk-back about acting to a Devry classroom.
2:00: drove from there to the 51 and Camelback for an audition. It went well, but my voice still sounded like shit.
3:30: brief stop for lunch. finally.
4:00 picked Meg up from work early because she was very sick.
5:00 headed back to theatre
6:00 helped build our set.
7:00 ran show AGAIN with no voice and no energy to speak of
10:00 caught up with my boys for some much needed fun on the volleyball court.
12:00 - 2:00 more Worms 3D
2:00 - 4:00 long talk about everything and nothing with Brian.
The thing is I'm noticing a pattern emerging. It took all of that to make me feel exhausted enough to sleep as soon as I hit the pillow and stay asleep until 2 pm today. I never fall asleep that quickly or sleep that soundly, even when I'm having a "good" spell with my insomnia. Unless I've just pushed myself to the breaking point.
Does this mean that I'm doomed to force myself into 30 to 40 hour days for the rest of my life just so I can get a decent sleep?
Everybody's got their cross to bear, right? I suppose I should be thankful.
Mine could be worse.
