I cracked the Intermittent Fasting code. For myself, anyway. It started with being comfortable with being Uncomfortable. Using that as a mantra was a game changer last month. But I’ve also started thinking of Intermittent Fasting as an exercise. Sometimes, I do my regular time restricted eating (TRE) and hold off having my first meal…
Now after weeks of preparation, the actual performance is around the corner. The Game’s Afoot opens on Friday. And we have started Tech Week. That means we’re rehearsing with our costumes. And the lighting cues. And sound cues. It’s like doing the show, but without the audience. The clock is ticking. There’s still a couple…
The good thing about gaining weight one month? I often have enough motivation to get back on track the following month. (That is except for 2022. Which was one continuous slide up the scale. But we won’t go there.) My average weight for October was 198.3 lbs which 4 lbs less than September! Highest weight…
We open The Game’s Afoot a week from tomorrow. And I need to do the thing I dislike the most. Promoting the play. I find it harder to do that than remembering my lines. It’s such a strange thing. I don’t mind telling people that I’m in a show. But it feels weird trying to…
Can I let you in on a secret? Acting is fun. I love it. It’s all make believe. Sometimes you play a serious character in a serious play. Sometimes you play a silly character in a silly play. Or maybe it’s a silly character in a serious play. Or the other way around. But it’s…
Yikes. October has not been a good month for posting. I’m not sure why. I’ve got things to write about. I seem to focus on one thing only to let something else drop. I am not a good juggler. That’s for sure. My priority for October, especially the second half, has been to get my…
When I check out someone’s blog, I’ll often go to their About Me page. I’m always curious to know a bit more about the author. Looking the stats for my site, I saw that my About me page gets viewed more than most other pages. It makes sense. You read a post and wonder “Who…
Ah, the things we do for the shows we’re in. When we agree to be in a play, we know there will be sacrifices. I mean, we know that we’re going to give up weeks of time at rehearsals. And many hours at home, dedicated to learning lines. But sometimes we do even more. For…
Last week was our first time being off book for The Game’s Afoot. Fran, our director was lenient with us. Because we were actually supposed to be off book the previous rehearsal. No one likes these first rehearsals “off book”. Without our scripts. The transition from script to memory is always painful. The lines you…
Last week was Thanksgiving. For us Canadians. Caileigh and Chris came down from Ottawa. Tara was here with Dan. And Deb’s brother, Donald, and her father, Mark, joined us from Montreal. We were missing Keaton and Kate. They were home in B.C. But it was great to visit with the folks that we had here.…
