I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think you should absolutely quit. Also would you consider making me some dresses?

Our wings are not tired.

My mind went to, for everything there is a season. It sounds like it is time for you to make a change.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like the right choice, Sophia.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you. I think it is the right decision too. I have a student with a good career on broadway. I have made a difference. I don't need the money. I don't have the bandwidth to wade through a three page document to tell me if a student is eligible for pay or to borrow costumes. I want to work with students and I can still do that. But I am also far enough along in my career that I could walk up to a school and say "do you want me to talk about costumes?" And they would let me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think you're right, Sophia, FWIW.

I spent a lot of time out on the patio just now -- the temp is about 70, but the wind is pretty strong. At least I'm not complaining about being sweaty?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like you have much doubt, Sophia. You knew the time had come.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I don't think you have to give up your identity as a theater professional! You're just not doing this job right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was supposed to be going to a chorus concert tonight, but we couldn't figure out where to park, so we just came home! At least I can catch up on my shows.

Herding cats for fun

This decision has been brewing for awhile, Sophia. I don't think you'll be giving up on theater... I think you're going to interface with the craft in different ways.

If you ever need practice with doing costumes, you could always try dressing me up as a tasteful lady. Har de har har snortlaugh.

Sophia, if you find your main job doesn't fulfill that part of you, I'm positive you'll be able to find another platform.

Speaking of positive, I just remembered to listen to the voicemail that came from an unfamiliar number while I was working Friday night(picked up phone for first time to take a picture of the cats...)

Welp, it was my dr. My bloodwork came back & the rheumatoid numbers are positively positive. So no more guessing, it's that.
