Eye twitch

Filed under: — Aprille @ 5:10 pm

I have an eye twitch in my lower left eyelid. I’ve heard those can be stress-related. Fortunately, my stress levels are on the decline, since I will now have more free time for relaxation. Sweet Charity was fun, but it was definitely a time-gobbler.

You know the kind of people who are always happy to be around when there’s lots of applause and roses and glory, but they never show up when it’s time to build the set or haul lighting equipment onto the truck? Yeah, they bug me too. And it’s not an isolated event. There were at least three or four occasions during this production when the director pleaded for our help, and there were quite a few people who never even showed up once.

That said, the experience last night of striking the set, loading the U-Haul, and unloading it at the studio was really rather pleasant. I think it’s because the people in the cast/crew who annoyed me the most didn’t stick around to do the hard work, and I was left surrounded by the people whose company I really enjoyed.

Plus I got free pizza.

I had to go to the fabric store on Saturday to get a new zipper to put into a castmember’s dress, and while I was there, I just happened to notice some really nice fabric on sale, 50% off. I am looking forward to making a jaunty jacket.

Also–get this–I have a tentative date this weekend to go to dinner and movie with my husband. I haven’t done that forever.
