newmoonstarAfter being ridiculously busy for the past month, I'm now stuck at home with a nasty virus and feeling miserable because all my friends are out having a Fourth of July party and watching the fireworks while I'm sitting on my own coughing up large chunks of phlegm :(
For the 4th I usually at least watch The Music Man and eat some apple pie, but I don't feel celebratory in light of the horrible things going on in this country, and I'm too exhausted from my constant coughing fits to even try to cheer myself up. The onset of post-show depression isn't helping anyway- I usually feel sad after I finish doing a play, and not having another show lined up to do until December makes me more than a little anxious. Theatre is usually the only thing that makes me feel useful or happy, and there's not even anything to audition for on the horizon. But on the bright side, I made lots of new friends from this last show, and we've been trying to do stuff together on a regular basis, which is nice.
I really need to get cracking on sewing costumes for conventions, but for some reason I've had no desire to sew at all. And I should be excited- at TeslaCon this year, they're having a black & white My Fair Lady Ascot scene theme event, which I've dreamed of doing since I was a little kid... but I don't want to make anything for it, I just want to magically have a perfect outfit spring into existence for me to wear :p
Being super sick right now is probably not helping my motivation or optimism at any rate. Being sick in the summer is the WORST. Be gone, foul plague!!
