It's almost like the Universe decided this was the perfect time to have something awesome going on in my life and something absolutely shitty at the same time. I'm not sure whether its to keep me from getting too big a head about the awesome thing or to keep me from getting too down about the shitty thing.
I'll start with the shitty. Let's end on a high note.
My ex-wife has decided to be completely uncooperative to punish me for asserting my rights. I'm going to be out of town next week for a conference, so I asked whether my son could spend an extra night. Response: he can stay here if he wants, but if not then you have to find him somewhere to stay for the entire three days. So I found backup and gave my son the choice. He's like, "I don't really want to stay with Mama, but I don't know why I'd stay anywhere else." And then he said, "Mama's being really immature."
Today, she messaged me and told me not to come inside their house any more when I pick him up. *face*fucking*palm*
I really hate the whole "no fucks" thing, but the only way I can sum up the weekend is that I have reached the end of them. Ex- wants to play games? Fine, whatever, not worth my time.
On the good side of things, I had my first rehearsal with my actors today. We can't get in the theater until next week, so this week I'm working on character development and relationships. Actor games, interviews, read-thrus. First read thru was AWESOME. I took five pages of notes and (unfortunately) kept them over by about 30 minutes, but this is going to be such an amazing show!
