It's 11pm and I should be in bed. I flew to LA on Sunday and spent 3 days at a great conference (on career coaching) and flew back pretty much all day yesterday, landing at 1am Boston time which is about 10pm LA time. That wasn't the hard part. The hard part was waking up this morning at 7am Boston time, meaning I had about 5 hours of sleep after a very very long day. But here I am - up and feeling just fine with my darned nocturnal body clock. Thank you so much.
In other news, I finally got to see the final production of the school play that I wrote and co-directed. The kids were just so darned cute in their costumes and make-up and it did come together really well. Kids who were so quiet at the start of the rehearsals back in January knew their lines and spoke quite well, although I still think that most of the audience wouldn't know what was being said half the time...
I'm such a perfectionist and it drives me nuts. I know those kids worked hard, but I still saw and felt every little error... Ah well. For me, it was a great opportunity to remember what I enjoyed about amateur theatre. And for the kids, it's something that I hope they will remember forever - possibly their first time on stage for some of them!
Friday (tomorrow) after school is the cast party - I've been told to show up with a Sharpie because we get ice cream and we sign everyone's t-shirts. I guess I'd better get some sleep to keep up with that energy! G'night!
