Drove all night Saturday. Played show on Sunday, then went to apartment to pack all worldly possessions. Moved out of apartment on Monday, then rehearsed with ensemble. Played ensemble show on Tuesday. Gave talk on Wednesday. Now it’s Thursday, I am living out of very large and disorganized boxes, and I’m getting on a plane at 6:45 am tomorrow. My luggage is still missing from a flight I took about six weeks ago. (If any of you at Montgomery Theater were wondering why I was going for the polyester-sundress-over-jeans look onstage, it’s because I have no clean gig clothes.)
Something one learns quickly in times like these is to be at peace with chaos. Do what you can, roll with the rest.
