Red and Blue

The show has ended, and I'm back to being a 7-3:30 working stiff. And the funny thing is that I'm STILL TIRED. Why is it that I can't get myself to bed before 11:30pm? I know that I have to get up at 5:00 am, and yet I fritter away my sleeping time with...what? A whole lot of nothing that adds up to missed sleep and ridiculous amounts of caffeine consumed just to stay somewhat functional at work.

I'm a little blue now that the show is over. I'll feel it most this weekend when we're not doing the show. I expected to be full-on depressed for at least three days after the show ended, but I'm doing ok. I miss my peeps, but I'll see some of them this weekend, so I don't have long too wait before the reunion.

Speaking of this weekend, I'm catering for the first time since December. I accepted the job because, well, I spent a leeeetle too much money during the run of the show. I ate out a lot, went out a lot, and it turns out that I broke the bank a little. I can pay all my bills (Mom, Dad, Ishy-girl), I just can't eat out again for a while. So, catering again. It'll be a nice change from sitting at desk all day, and there are some fellow waiters I'd be happy to see again. Unfortunately, the gig is at Ellis Island, and that's almost never a pleasant time. There's a time crunch to get the guests fed and onto the last guest ferry, plus there's a time crunch at the top end when all the setting up has to be done in about an hour and a half after the museum closes and before guests arrive for the cocktail portion. It's stressful, but the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut and your hands folded until someone tells you to speak or do something. It's meditative, actually.

And for the fun surprise of the evening: going to see '33 Variations' tonight, starring Jane Fonda. A friend managed to score some last minute tickets, so off we go! And off I go. I must gussy up just a touch.

Toodles, kidlings.
