So back to some sort of reality now what with the chaos and carnage of the last week or so. I think one of the things that I really need to look at in the future with any large show is my diet. Not that I am that worried about putting on weight...the amount of physical work involved covers that. It's more for the energy levels. The last few months have been spent with at least two rehearsals a week. My slot to eat was sandwiched between running a work session and a rehearsal (Clever use of the word sandwiched there I thought). So as a result, the local chip shop man saw me more than his wife. By the end of the run I was heartily sick of chips. During show week we also enjoyed the delights of kebabs, pizza, curry and Chinese take-aways. I just feel completely sluggish. I was much better as far as alcohol was concerned, and probably only had two nights where I should have had less. I am going to try and build more of a contingency in the future for food. I was also wondering if I should take vitamins and go on a health kick for the two weeks leading up to and including the show. There are so many coughs and sneezes around, and our leading man barely made the stage for two of the performances that I think it might be a good idea. We must be one of the only Amateur drama groups that have our own juicing specialist who brings in a variety of healthy potions designed to help the voice! Anyway, I shall be looking after myself a little better over the next few weeks. Today was a slow day, mainly because I had decided it needed to be. Mrs Plug did Housework,and I got re accustomed to working life and the ever growing to do list! We had a quiet session in the evening and then an evening in front of the telly.
We started to talk about Christmas and what to buy the girls, and I always get a little excited about that. We also have the tree up, along with the decorations. I feel this is far too early, but as our tree was on stage all last week we felt it was easier to do this than put it away and get it out again. I think we are all feeling a little down at the moment. Perhaps because of the various things we have taken on? I am looking forward to the break and the family time over the next few weeks.
