It was quite rewarding. We just closed yesterday, it feels somewhat surreal. I looked stern, was a pompous ass and general stick-in-the-mud, and as a result was mocked, tied up, blindfolded, and pushed to the end of insanity.
Also, I had a puppet.
Good times.
But it is over. Today I miss the incredibly talented people I will likely never get to perform with again, though I will do my best to follow their careers. Today I am also relieved. I have been doing shows since December with no break and I am pooped. When going to work on Monday feels like a relief or three weeks in a row, I know I need a day off which I am not getting. I'm so wiped, I'm getting misty-eyed at Adventure Time (not that there's anything wrong with that).
No more evening rehearsals for awhile.
Now I finish my thank you cards, head to a cousin's wedding, save to move, save for a cruise, somehow have money to spend on my friends who I will finally get to see.
For all of the sickness and exhaustion and financial frustration, I'm in a good place tonight.
I hope you are too.
Love to you...
Now get some rest! Don't make me come up there and blindfold you and tie you up
