Beware the ides of March

Rocked the party at NETCs. More callbacks than I've had in a long time, maybe ever. Good feeling - espcially nice cause they were (almost) all good companies. Lots of repeats, including the Sesame Street Live people - it would be a sell-out, but the money is soooo much better than anything I've ever made. We shall see.

Now comes the summer decision process...and I don't know what to do. Just got back from the auditions yesterday, so I'll see what happens in the next week or two. One of my faves was the Charleston Stage Company, in South Carolina. 10-month contract, starting in July. I like the idea, but I'm not completely sure I want to jump into another long internship right away - though having a secure job for 10 months (even if it doesn't pay much - but does involve a nice apartment right on the water!!) is appealling. They'll be offering contracts this week, so at least I'll know right away if they want me. Still definitely considering Montana though...and also wondering how to deal with the boy. I desperately want to be with him, but he seems to have his plan close to worked-out and I don't know how to talk about it. Decisions creep closer and closer and guilt increases as I look at myself and see only my mistakes, ways I should've behaved better, things I wish I could change. Stuck in a rut, treating myself and others badly, expecting too much all around. Uber confused, trying to work out my priorities and what I need the most right now.

Despite all that, I really am feeling pretty good right now. TIC's up and running - leaving town at 5:30am tomorrow (!) provided the snow doesn't take over. Crazy cause it was like 53 degrees and sunny today, but 3-6 inches predicted for tomorrow. Ugh. Pennsylvania in March. This is one reason I got so excited about Charleston - nice weather year-round! Woo hoo! Anyway, TIC's fine, the kids are lovely, my tour group is tolerable. Usually.

My voice is achy, I have a cough. Yuk. Gonna watch a movie or sumpin
