The Frida Special
So, the show is over.
The week leading up to it was awful and stressful and I nearly drove myself crazy.
In the end, it turned out decently, and I got a very complimentary review in the Herald.
Kind of glad it's all over though.
Got sick after the show, of course. Can I ever do a show without my body shutting down afterwards?
It was very difficult to go back to work on monday...back to life, back to reality.
Through it all, I was so happy to have Evan involved (he was the technical director for the show). Though I felt bad for kind of dragging him into the nightmare that was the show, he was the support I needed to stay somewhat sane through the whole thing.
I feel so unbelievably lucky to have found someone like that. Someone who will hold you when you're stressed and spontaneously burst into tears, stroke your hair and tell you that he loves you, without judgment or nervousness - he just gets me. That moment, and a hundred others that we've had since January are the reason I am so completely in love. I won't pretend we haven't had some fights. Can't have two passionate people spend so much time together without a few quarrels here and there, but seriously. Things on the relationship front are wonderful.
Pardon the sap...two weeks from today we're going away for a week and then he's moving to Parrsboro for almost 4 months to work at Ship's Company Theatre. I'm overly sentimental and emotional these days. Two peas in a pod, we are. I like being squished in the pod. Facing 4 months on seperate plates....okay. The analogy has officially gone to far :P
