I just got the schedule for the shows I'm in this summer and it's a darn good thing that I am not working this summer because I am going to be one busy chickadee. Which will make visiting rough (theatre commitments always seem to conflict with everything). I am happy to say that I will have the weekend of prom off, though! Whew.

I think I need a vacation. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed, lately, like I'd like to just be home for a while... I'd like to sort through my stuff and see what I should keep and what I should get rid of. It's kind of lucky and interesting, I guess, that I am 30 years old and sloughing off more possessions and chachkes than I am taking on, but it's also hard to let go of certain things. No, I haven't watched my copy of Animal Crackers all year, but do I want to get rid of it??? NO! I've pared my book collection down to nothing, and I still have a large bookcase worth.

I don't know, it's so strange. When I first got here, I was all about creating a nest for myself, full of plants and books and homemade blankets, and for the last few years I've been slowly getting rid of the accumulations of a nest, and soon I'll be moving everything to a town which by all accounts is pretty gross, and attempting to carve out a nest there. Do I sound overwhelmed? I think I might be, a little. Hmm.
