I'm discovering a whole new world of tired. Friday I woke after four hours sleep - too excited to sleep but my eyes and brain were hurting. Somehow I made it through a BREEAM presentation and workshop - managed to get my photo taken with the certificate that has my name on - it's a good photo if I do say so myself but I was disappointed to have our technical director tell everyone that my I looked good on it - not well done for being the first BREEAM Communities assessor in the country and getting the first certificate and helping our relationship with these important clients and contributing in your own way to sustainability', oh no - nothing like that - just 'pretty hair'. And worse - people seem to think I should take it as a compliment, rather than a nasty and patronising chauvinistic put down.
Still....trying not to be angry.
So the day was tiring enough on Friday and then at five I was at Claire's house sipping energy drinks and rehearsing the spokes comedy routine - the girls have been practising all week and it really showed. I managed to fit in and then we cycled down to critical mass and did it for real in front of around 200 people, then I did Doris, then sat up late chatting to visiting friends, then did Doris again on Saturday afternoon, then again on Saturday night. Sunday I cycled up to Salford and caught the train to Chorley for an aikido seminar then tonight was back in the theatre doing Doris again. I am loving it but I'm also looking forwrad to getting my life back.
