So sleepy

Amazing how getting up BEFORE the crack of dawn can make your day so difficult.

Because my mother is terribly practical, she decided to multi-task. That since she had to deliver me to the airport by 7AM, she might as well do some Early-Bird Black Friday shopping. And take me with her to get some shopping done myself. Ostensibly a great idea. But the fact that I was barely standing up made it a little difficult to strategize in terms of Christmas. I just wanted to find the display bed and curl up. But at least she let me sleep in till 5.

Plane sleep is a joke. Your eyes might be closed and time might pass a bit faster, but it's not exactly restful. And even if it was, it's a short flight.

Straight off a plane, onto the L and the bus. Rush home to change, grab my script and some oatmeal (because 6 hours later, I still hadn't consumed anything) then off to a long rehearsal. During which I had to fight to stay awake, sometimes unsuccessfully. Not even espresso could help me.

So now I am finally home, in my jammies and I am so tired I can't fall asleep. Annoying.

But Virginia was so nice. A little strange, occasionally difficult, but I am so happy I went. More posts to come about that. The short version - I saw people, enjoyed the familiar and great quantities of excellent food.

Maybe if I turn on the toob, it will just put me into such a stupor, I will pass out...
