Hey all!!! Welcome to my next addition to this edition of my blog!!!
*cue confetti cannons*
Thank you, thank you! To those who've put up with my ramblings so far, you're amazing people. I'm hear, this morning, at *looks at time* 2:54 A.M!!! To talk about something OTHER than theatre!!!!!
I know... It's BLASPHOMEY!!!!!!!! But I think we all need a break, but it'll still be a good topic!!!
Hobby's are a great passtime to have. They can help take your mind off of a stressful show, a bad audition, or just keep you sane. I personally like reading, jewelry making, and volunteering my time, because I have lots of it!
Hobby's don't have to be those things in particular, but those happen to be mine, and happily, I've lost my mind ages ago, though I'd like to have it back someday to put in a jar...
Anywho...
As much as theatre seems to be a hobby, and you love it to death, if you make it work, it's work, and we all need a microvacation from work every so often.
Take a non-theatrical example of this idea. My mother is a doctor. She absolutely LOVES practicing medicine. Even switched majors (from tech to pre-med. I know, BLASPHOMEY!!!!) to persue her dream of becoming a doctor. She would work hard, and come home and tell us about her day as much as the Hippocratic Oath would let her (just an FYI: the Oath is the doctor-patient privacy policy) and would smile if she helped a peticularly sick person get better. After awhile, she would come home haggared looking and snippy. She'd appoligize, but work would obviously be getting to her.
So what did she do???
My mother enjoy's gardening, and we have four small garden plots around my house that are to her credit. She would come in dirty and gross, but her face would be happy and alert again.
So, contemplating not going on vacation to earn more moolah? Try taking a small weekend trip to the fair or the extended family. Or better yet!!! Go to a movie with that special someone! I bet they'd appreciate a romantic date!
That's all for today, Ta chaps!
