I went to the doctor on Tuesday and it turns out I had STREP!! I couldn't believe it. I actually went in there and explained, "I don't think it's strep because....." He put me on a z-pak and I'm fine. Actually, I was FINE when I went in there. I felt better on Tuesday than I had in over a week except for my migraine. He gave me prescriptions for them, too. I mean, HOPEFULLY I won't have many more migraines... but if I do now I have some better ammo than Excedrin. He actually gave me a shot for my migraine that day. It was weird. I hate shots. As soon as I realized the sample he was giving me was a shot my heart started racing. A shot and strep throat in one day. BLEAH.
The z-pak made me feel really weird during performances. I felt VERY... aware... of everything. I was having a continuous battle with my brain during Merchant because I was simply unable to feel anything except how I had done everything before. It was weird and bad but at least I don't have strep anymore.
Aaron sent out our schedule for next week. I almost cried when I read it. He always has the schedule go Tuesday - our day off. We have the Tuesday of our last week off so it obviously said "June 10." JUNE TENTH. Oh my God. Sunday is June and in two weeks we will be closing these shows. It's impossible to think of this date because I have been living this life for so long. I have been at this job for a year and been excited about starting it for five months before that. I am sure that some people are more than ready for it to be over, I'm just not one of them. I am SAD and as we approach that date I am just going to get more sad.
I had an actor's nightmare this morning where Josh blamed me for him missing a cue. In my dream the conversation went, "Hey, about the Pedant scene today....", "Yeah, were you just not paying attention or what???", "YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME MY CUE!!!" I told him about it later and we laughed a lot.
It was 88 degrees today and Chris and I walked to the park again. We were going to walk AROUND the park but we were so sweaty by the time we got there that we just sat in the shade and watched people walk their dogs.
I am a really big fan of spring/summer. I tend to stop eating, though, which can be a problem. I just don't want to eat anything heavier than a turkey sandwich. Food seems like more of a hindrance in the heat. HOWEVER, when I do want to eat I know exactly what I want (that is not the case in winter. I'm all "I don't know, what do you want?"). Also, do not worry, I still eat three meals a day, it's just kind of against my will.
