Another bad evening...

So, I just got home from my first full dress/tech rehearsal for my show. It was awful! The show is great - but having to say xOM's name over and over and over again was awful! "Dear (name)", "I love you, (name)", "I miss you, (name)"...on and on and on! UGH!!! And what's worse is because it is a 2 actor show and an indepth character study, it is SO EMOTIONAL!!! I cried the entire 30 minute drive home! I'm exhausted, upset and a have a mother of a headache!

I'm not sure how I am going to make it through the performances - especially knowing xOM is suppose to be there next Saturday night! Thank G-d it is only 1 weekend (3 shows) - otherwise I might have to hurl myself off the nearest bridge! HELP!!

Diva--

Seriously...you really can do this. I would bet that not a one of us has beeen in your situation, but this is just another hurdle.

The show only runs one weekend--it could be worse :-) Can try to make it through one night at a time until next Sunday? In case XOM shows up on Saturday, can you make arrangements to have really fun plans with your H and a fun group of people right after the show? They can wisk you away immediately so that maybe you won't even see the guy.

You CAN get through this--you have come so far, and you can go the rest of the way :-)

Meg -

Thanks so much for your support. I knew just by reading the script that it would be hard, but once I got into rehearsals...well, I had no idea it would be that DRAINING! Actually, I am going out after the show next Saturday with a group of girls for my firends b-day - HOWEVER I made the mistake of telling xOM this. You never know - he may not even show up...and if he does, he may just leave as soon as the show is over! I guess I just have to wait and see - can't worry about it until then, The show must go on :-)
