My Day Off



Today was my last full day off before leaving for tour. I had a ton of Theatreworks "work" to do as well as a few personal items to take care of and a couple fun items planned.

I woke up to drizzle and "feels like 26 degrees." Great. But I got over that. I dressed warmly and walked the 24 blocks to try to buy some new shoes at Infinity Shoes. I bought some shoes months ago from there and didn't like them but apparently instead of giving you money back they give you store credit. SO although I would be paying for new shoes, I spent the money so long ago it would feel like free. They didn't have anything I liked. Strike One (I'm ignoring the weather b/c really..what are you going to do?)

Then Ryan and I went back to to 110 to eat at The Heights, my favorite restaurant in NYC, so far. We had been planning this for a week and I already knew what I wanted to order and everything. They were closed for renovations. Until TOMORROW!!! Strike Two.

I spent the rest of the day "working" at home until I received 2 emails from Theatreworks people (my director and the costume shop guy we work with) telling me to stop working on my day off. So I figured I should probably get some health insurance. Apparently the insurance company I found wants proof of residency. They take only certain items as proof. My drivers license is still TX, my voters registration is still TX, I no longer have car insurance since I don't have a car and I don't have electicity bills because we live in Columbia housing and everything goes to Ryan. Therefore the ONLY way they will believe I live at my apartment is if I get a notary to notarize a signed document WITH a witness that states I live in my apartment. ARE YOU KIDDING? I work 9 to 6 everyday and I leave NEXT WEEK on tour. STRIKE THREE.

Day off???? I would have rather been at work.

onward and hopefully upward.

Editors Note- Thank you to my artist Colleen who saved the day by being a notary public. Come see Colleen star in Max and Ruby as Ruby!
