Chiquillos, I have been in tech for a week and a half now, and it is exhausting. 6-11 every night and 11 hour days over the weekend. Tomorrow we open and then I'm free to go to sleep before midnight. In the meantime, I am curled up in the rocking chair with the computer and my coffee, while IRX rolls around in her crib. She does all kinds of amazing acrobatics, turning herself in a circle and rolling over from her back to her belly, a trick she debuted a few days ago and which I love to watch. The only sorrow is that once she is on her stomach she pretty much just lies there struggling to keep her head up, grunting and drooling before she lays down her head in defeat. Then I roll her back on to her back and it all starts again.
The past month has been exhausting, but not in a terrible way. It is nice to be back in it. I love directing. And I have every confidence that someday I'll figure out how to teach full time, direct a show, take care of a baby, AND squeeze in getting my roots and brows done. In the meantime, bangs and headscarves go a long way in a cover-up!
