The Wall of Exhaustion

This summer has brought with it a cornucopia of opportunities. And as grateful as I am to be doing what I love, it is also sprinkled with some annoyances. Moments when you are reminded that you are your own business and that you must protect that at all costs or else. Moments when you are working so many hours during the day that sleep is a luxury that you cannot afford and your body and spirit crave it. Moments when you have to go to the laundromat several times during the week. Not to mention cooking and cleaning and all that jazz that is connected to being a single parent actress. Ugh!

That is when I reach for this blog. It gives me life when I am literally drained of everything. I gives me life when I am literally feeling the wall of exhaustion upon me. This week will be a beast, but soon I will have some daytime free to sleep, rest, catch up on Ray Donovan and maybe even see some friends and share some wings and toast a hard cider. But until then, take heed that if you need to contact me about some unnecessary BS, I do not have the time. If you are sad because I forgot your birthday or didn't wish you a Happy Fathers Day or a Happy whatever holiday, stand in line because you may be waiting until next year if you can stand it. In other words, don't bother me until I am rested enough to exercise some tact and understanding, which I am very short on at the moment. 

In other words, I am very busy right now. So busy that I cannot even pay attention. Literally and figuratively. 

Come and support my art. Send me a text so that I know that you are alright. Live your life without worrying about mine. Take in some sunshine and bask in glory of summer. If you have a regular job, enjoy your two weeks off or the month off. Find some joy before you come darken my door because exhausted people have no patience or time for pity parties And definitely do not have time for any guilt trips, save that mess for someone who actually cares, because right know I am not the one. So smile and give me a holler after July 21st. That is when I can exhale. And boy, oh boy, am I ready....
