We got to the airport EARLY. It might be the end of days. Of course, Tim got 1 hour of sleep and I got 4. But our flight goes to LAX first, so it's a long enough flight for us to nap. Yay Ativan.

Teppy is on her honeymoon (said in a sing-song way).

I slept like crap. Woke up from a freaky dream that included a cricket almost the size of my cat. WTF?

Teppy is on her honeymoon!

I dreamed of cutting off the ends of my fingers, and I was all cheerful about it. WTF, dreams?

Safe and wonderful travels, Teppy and Tim!

My neck and shoulders are so tight and achy, it woke me up last night. Forturnately I woke up when Daniel was still up after coming home from work and he was able to massage them enough that I could get back to sleep. But here I am again, and he's asleep.

I will be happy when the schedule slows down to the point where I'm not working 20 hour days.

Whoa, yeah, that sounds hard core. Good luck, Noise Design. I can't imagine.

Of course, I got very little sleep two nights in a row, in Sioux City (the second night, someone upstairs would not stop walking around, grr...and then I had to be up at 5AM central time). Got home yesterday at 2pm, thought "OMG must NAP"...and didn't get out of bed again until morning. That was a bit ridiculous. Also, now my back hurts. My bed is nice, but not that nice! Luckily I didn't have anything that desperately needed doing, but I also could've used some of that time...

I'm anxiously awaiting getting an extra hour. But I think I have to wait another month. I hate this getting up in the dark thing.

Whoa, yeah, that sounds hard core.

It is.

I do about 14 hours work most days lately. But we are hiring more people, which should help. Short run it means more work training people. Brendon is on the same type schedule as ND, but I just can't do it anymore. I need my sleep.

Thx Zen and Strix! Best sleep last night in months. I almost feel human. Yay!

ND, dude, 20 hr days are good for no one. Unless you are a house cat and those 20 hrs are spent napping. Then it would be pretty rad. Have you heard of this thing called "burn out?" I still have anxiety dreams about theatre. Always, ALWAYS they center around a particular director I hated working with. Last week's was new, i was trying to run a first rehearsal directed by Des (from my LJP days) and had done zero prep work. No daily call, no rehearsal schedule, no company business paperwork, nothing. Then all the actors disappeared after lunch break and i couldn't figure out where they were. My dreaming self was horrified that i had lost my cast and went to extreme lengths to find them (doing dialect work in a diff building, apparently) but my waking self thinks "excellent, not my problem anymore" and washes her hands clean of that manipulative jerk of a director. Ok, not that that is in any way a direct parallel of you working for yourself and just having way too much going on cuz that's how the $$$ comes in, but in that overexerting oneself lingers in the subconscious.

ND makes me worry about his health. A lot.
