What day is it?

Is it Thursday? I think so - it was a matinee. I can't remember a time when I wasn't performing Doris, or when my eyes didn't hurt. Or not my eyes as such, although shutting them stops it. I think it's my frontal lobes.
I'm noticing how we make space for each other when there is no space. Someone commented that it's a shame I have to sit by the stage and miss out on all the cameraderie back in the changing rooms but I think I would crack up if I had to sit in there, even though they're (almost all) nice people. There's a way to be stood next to someone and leave them be, as if they weren't stood there.
I'm not signing up for anything with a two week run again, not unless I can stop working and everything else whilst I do it. I'm so glad I don't have a job where I have to be cheerful all the time. I could never work in Disneyland.
Someone was sick in the corridor just before the first number and a breakaway choir section wanted to go on all from the same side but as chaperones we said no and made them walk past it. A phone went off in the dressing rooms in the first half - twice - it turned out to belong to one of the two actresses/writers. We all had slightly different positions as not all the cast could make the matinee which threw some people out but actually made for a much less crowded stage.
My eyes just want to shut so I'm going to let them.
