When we last left our hero...
1. I finished my first show in CA, and luckily (and unlikely to ever happen again), only had four weeks off until the next job. Which is in New York. Which is nowhere near my house, my car, my bills, or my husband. So that's a downer. On the other hand, the show is pretty awesome, AND I get to pretend I'm 16 again, while I crash with Mom and Dad for awhile.
2. On the upside, I've been spending a lot of time with Dr. Cupcake and dbg, which is a definite plus.
3. I haven't cut off any of my fingertips lately, or sprained or broken anything, but production starts tomorrow, so let the injury count begin.
4. Mom and Dad's aforementioned crib is in New Jersey, a mere 17 miles from The City That Never Sleeps, leading me to return to my roots on NJTransit, the bus, the train, the way to go! It's actually not terrible, taking about 45-60 minutes to get to and fro, a marked improvement over the CA commute, when the Jansport and I would roll in sometime between 9:30am and a week from Thursday.
5. On the other hand, I'm going to get to know the 6:03am train a whole lot better starting Monday, for a 7am call time. OMGzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
6. Peckle's wedding is two weeks from today. At first blush, my dress was big enough for me, Dr, Cupcake and dbg to have a party in. As of yesterday, it's smaller, but still big enough for a few trips to the Castle. I'll take it.
7. After weeks of "fall" weather, with 10000% humidity and 90 degree temps, it's finally, actually cold here. Since I'm flying solo in the tri-state, that means extra blankets, warm jammies and the windows? Wide open. What?
8. Commuting via public transportation means I've gone from driving a Jansport to carrying one. Last week, I was wearing my backpack, carrying a binder and a lunchbag, making me look like a really tall 9 year old.
9. I'm considering crossing over to the dark side and getting a Blackberry. Pray for me.
10. I just packed a wheelie suitcase full of nothing but food. Doesn't everyone?
