I know I've been grumbling here a lot about how I've been overscheduled, overcommitted, underslept, stressed, and exhausted lately, with all of the projects I've been working on. And I wanted to state, for the record -

I still had a blast. And I'd do it all again, in a heartbeat.

Admittedly, if I had my druthers, I'd do it again at a time when I wasn't also dealing with a car accident, tax woes, and another major life crisis, but none of that was the fault of any of the people involved in the fun stuff. The Babydolls shows were a blast, the LARP I helped run was amazingly fun as always, and in all they were worth every minute of work and prep that went into them.

And on a similar note -

I am incredibly grateful for my friends. Everyone who wasn't involved in the projects in question, whose patience and compassion and general ability to be there when I needed a hand, or a shoulder to lean on, or who put up with my at-best-sporadic presence during all of this.

I am also incredibly grateful for having the world's best husband. I can't describe how amazingly supportive he has been - from pitching in as a stage hand to taking over making dinner and running the house for the past two weeks to just being wherever I needed him a minute before I knew I did, with a mug of tea or a hug or the right words to make everything better.

Most of all, I am grateful beyond measure for having the kind of friends who ask me to be part of crazy things like this. Dancing, performing, writing, you name it - without them, my life would be boring and flat and uneventful as a flyover state. And given a choice between that and the hectic chaos that I have right now.... that's really no choice at all.

Hear, hear. I too have been in that situation trying to balance being PA and RA for a theatre production in Davis Square while commuting from Salem. It wasn't the easiest and carefully balancing my responsibilities at home and work with the play made for some really challenging days.

But, as you say, it was definitely worth it. The friends we make - who ask us to do these things in the first place - are people I can foresee having in my life for many years to come.

I keep meeting people who either know you personally or through your work. Maybe we'll cross paths again soon.

It's been lovely to have you around. Take as much (or as little) of a break as you like. We'll be around.
