Life so far

So today most likely will be a double blogging day. Since Christmas, a lot has turned around. I began Physical Therapy on the 27th and let me tell you, it wasn't easy. My foot is incredibly sensitive and requires serious desensitization. I had three sessions of PT this week and surprisingly during each session my pain got just a little bit better. Every day is a constant struggle with trying to wiggle my toes. They are incredibly stiff, but I practice my exercises to help get them moving. I won't be able to walk if I can't even put my weight on the foot. In case you all wonder what desensitization means, I will create a post just on that.




I have two weeks until I head out to Aspen. I don't know what roles I have yet, but I do have TWO parts. I'm heading out on an early flight on the 15th and get back on the 27th...just in time for my best friends birthday! I get to look forward to negative degree temperatures and a lot of snow. On the bright side, I get to maybe see Jack Nicholson/Goldie Hawn/any other really rich celebrity taking their winter vacation. Maybe I'll steal Wi-Fi from Jack...although he seems like a kind of frightening guy and I wouldn't want to piss him off! I start rehearsals on the 16th, other than that I know nothing. Performances run from the 23-25/26 at the black box theatre at the high school in Aspen. I have a few special engagements with the group. If any of you want to look it up I am doing Take Ten with Theatre Masters. I will update when I know more...most likely from my phone.


I sit here at work. I could be at home...but alas I don't have the day off. I need to clean, severely! Having one foot that works makes it very difficult to get stuff done. My coworker suggested listening to some tunes, so we are...a little bit of coffee shop stuff on 8tracks. Jamie Callum...Sinatra....amazing. The chocolate is in abundance...always bad in this office. I am off at 5, where I will go home, shower, put on my PJ's...cook a meal. Drink my a fruit punch fourloko and then some champagne. I expect drunkenness by about 8 pm...maybe 10...trying to pace myself here. Not really happy to spend New Years eve alone. I'm hoping that 2011 is a good year.


PS: I ate this for lunch...it was foul. It looked like a monkey or small child could have made it. It was a Healthy Choice Steamers. Has shrimp, asparagus, squash, and pasta in some garlic sauce. I ate everything except for the squash and pasta...now I feel gross.

Christmas Eve

Here I am...alone on Christmas. This will be my 1st Christmas solo. I'm cooking quite the spread. Chicken, stuffing, peas and mushrooms, chive mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a garlic baguette and salad. Leftovers...yes! There are also two bottles of wine that need drinking...I may finish both tonight...yikes.

On another note...I have been cleared for Physical Therapy. My first session is Monday. I'm really excited to get back walking. I also DID get that gig in Aspen. I will be playing two parts...more info to come. I should be in Aspen for two weeks doing my thing. This is a major step in my career and I hope that I can get something after this.

I of course will be giving more info when I get it on my roles in the shows. Ahhhh I could go to New York with this gig!!! YES!!!!
