Wow - it's hard to believe we only have six shows left! But it's a blessed thing. For about a week and a half I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the rest of the show. I briefly thought about how I could get out of the show (fake an appendicitis attack...I know how that works, or step in front of a moving vehicle and get somewhat seriously injured, etc.), but then I decided I better just stick around. After all - how would they find a replacement within 24 hours? That would just be mean of me. This tough stretch also happened to be accompianied by an attack of allergies. I took my first sick day EVER at this job - the last time I took a sick day was during the before mentioned appendicitis attack.
But then last Friday night I got my second wind. It's fun to do the show again. I feel perfectly happy about the fact that the last show is this Saturday. I'm still enjoying giving a performance, but very much looking forward to having a life again. It's been a good run. I have fun co-workers who make me laugh SO hard back stage!! And the part has been a really fabulous part. It's been a great experience. So friends and family - forgive me for complaining. I'm not going to say I'll never do another show, because I probably will. BUT - I never EVER want to do a show single cast for 6 weeks straight. If I ever consider doing that in the future, it will be because a) I've gone insane, b) I found a nice sugar daddy who supports me in my habit, or c) I've won the lottery and stopped working full-time. 118 hours until I'm free...

Yea - I'm glad you're almost done (and enjoying the play again, too)! Now you can look forward to a nice vacation in St George.... :)
Next time you're tempted to do a single cast show you should reread your blog. :) Just remember, if they like you enough to single cast you then they should like you enough to double cast you. :)
