Recoup-erating

The allergies/cold/whatever is still niggling.  I canceled a lunch date this morning to rest.  I think stress is beginning to kick in:

• I have to do two new monologues at an audition on Saturday, and only one of them is really memorized
• I have less than a page of dialogue that I’m having trouble learning in my show, and it’s just coming SO slowly.  We start tech this weekend.  Normally I’m off book ages ago.  It’s just a couple of lines, but it’s frustrating. It makes me feel like I’m not doing my job.
• Whenever I think about last weekend’s events with Puppy, I get really irritated, because I know he just.doesn’t.get.it.  I have to talk myself down from the impulse to explain it all very slowly and clearly to him.  Even if he listened, he wouldn’t hear, because he’s an unwell person.
• I just can’t seem to get enough sleep.

And now I have to go put in a couple of hours in the office.  I’d much rather just stay home and do laundry and watch tv. In fact, I just called off sick, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

Cheers, y’all.
