a break

I need a break. somewhere in here, I need a chance to just lie down and rest, not feel like I'm neglecting things(or worse, actually be neglecting things). I don't really get one until March 11, and I'm counting the days.

Take an evening break. Seriously. The world will not come to a crashing halt if you do, and regular short breaks are better at preventing burnout than less frequent, if longer, breaks.

I'd go see Notes on a Scandal if you're up for a movie. I loves me some Judi Dench and some Cate Blanchett.

the problem is, rehearsals won't wait for me and the play needs to happen.
Everything seems vital right now rather than voluntary and that's annoying.

OOOH. RIGHT. I forgot that this is a thing that involves many, not the one, or the few.

But it's cool. It's a cool thing that you're doing. Focus on the coolness that is you.

thank you.
It's tricky when it gets to this sort of thing.
I have no problem taking a mental health day from dissertation work when called for, but when I have a public performance, it's another story.
