Burn Out!

Gemini Cricket · 07-17-2006, 08:07 AM

It's been a year since my last vacation started 7/17/05 (DL's 50th). And now, I'm officially burned out.

Hawai'i visit, cross country trip, looking for an apt, looking for a job, working since December without a break, 2 plays that take up 2-4 hours a day with rehearsals or performances...

I

need
a
vacation!

Ralphie wants to take a 3 day jaunt to New York City. I love NYC, but that doesn't sound relaxing to me...

The theatre I'm working with is great, the people are wonderful but they want me to audition and/or work on the next play which starts up on the 1st of Aug. I think I'm going to have to pass on it. It's flattering that they want me to help out, but I don't think I can physically do it.

AND do you know how hard it is to be funny when you're dead tired or drained? It's hard... And the scary thing is that I'm realizing that I'm not 20 any more and have the energy to go from play to play while being the life of the party. It's exhausting...

The next time I can take any long vacation time is in Sept. I will be going to my friend's wedding in CA. I plan to take it easy then and drive leisurely to the park. I've got to catch up on all the refurb madness.

Now I sit here at work and I am so tired and wicked bored. I had a lot of sleep last night (7 hrs) but I still feel drained. It didn't help that I went to a antique fair in Brimfield, MA this weekend that featured 1000 vendors and about a couple of miles of fairgrounds to walk... in the hot sun.

Been applying for new jobs and nothing's biting.

Urgh...

Anyone else feel as burned out as me? Ever feel totally burned out?

I wish I had a hammock. I'd sit in for a whole week doing nothing.
