White!

[p_j_cleary]

Today was the day I started to paint the set for Almost, Maine white! It's kind of a rule in theater that you don't paint a set white, because it can be intense for people to watch for a long period of time, but I'm going to tone it down a bit after I get the coats of white on the walls and such, and besides, I want the set to look like a line

Just out of curiosity -- and speaking from unfortunately direct experience -- have your doctors done a CT scan of the part of your back that hurts?

I hope this winds up being a good experience, after all the work that you're putting into it, and that you really can take a break from theater next year.

Today was much better (in terms of what the play looks like), and I feel like the play will be good. I do need to figure out exactly what I want to do, if anything, within the theater going forward.

As for the back, it's so new (just the past month or so) and I'm pretty sure it's the fact that it's colder, and there are two of us on the bed (and the cat...she takes up WAY MORE ROOM than you'd think) and I tend to not move very much when I sleep that I'm tensing my muscles a lot. If it gets worse, I'll ask to get a scan, but I feel like a hypochondriac more often than not, so I try not to go in for every ache and pain, just bitch about it online. :)
