Sleeping on my feet

Hey, future me!  Right now, present me is tired like you would not believe.  Please, please tell me you have stopped lugging everything around on your freakin' bike - your spine cannot take the weight of your stupid shoulder bag.  Go buy a bungee net to strap stuff on the rack, girl.  You just took a half-inch off your height with this foolishness.

Ok, but that aside (because you'll have forgotten about it by whenever you read this over again): things are GOOD today.  Really good!  You got paid a huge wad of cash this week, you've got acting work lined up for six months, you're doing a 7th day of filming tomorrow, money will automatically be deposited into your account overnight, people keep fbing you and calling you to say they've seen you on tv.  You get to be home with your own family for Christmas (and yes, future me, you may be rolling your eyes, I'm sure this was the Christmas someone had a big meltdown, and it was probably you, but let's hope not), and you're getting brand new tires on the car this week.  You. Are. In. The. Pink.

Right now, you're exhausted.  Give it up and go to bed, lady.  It's a losing fight - you need some sleep. But I just wanted to leave you this note to say: sometimes, you win one.  And you have.  So at least sometimes, sometimes, sunshine, you're a winner in your own story.  This week was one of those weeks.  Yes, yes, I know, you might blow that audition on Monday and spend the next month living it down, but on the other hand you might ace it, and then you'd almost have more work than you know what to do with.  Wow!  That would be a cool problem to have.  It could happen, you know.  The things you want are actually within your reach right now.  Right now.  RIGHT NOW.   That's incredible.  Enjoy it.

And seriously, buy a bungee net.  RIGHT NOW.  Heh.
