I'm taking a mental health day today. I called in sick to work and I have no show tonight. This is the first day I've had entirely to myself since early January, and oh, how I've needed it.

Which isn't to say I don't have things to do. I need to make another attempt at hunting down black jeans, because I don't want to have to wear my Nice Black Slacks for every damn show. I tried to find some last weekend, to no avail -- the ones I found, in thrift stores, were all either way too big or too small. Why are these things so hard to find? And I'm a size 8 jeans -- not exactly an unusual size. Then again, maybe that's the problem -- anything in my size has been snapped up already by the many, many other average-sized women out there. I should also go to the gym, and possibly do some grocery shopping. One of my actors has a birthday Saturday, and I promised him baked goods (he requested brownies), and it occurs to me that today may well be the last free stretch of time I have for baking before then. Also, possibly should do laundry, although I'm not in desperate straits in that area yet. There will definitely be at least an episode or two of West Wing in here as well.

I also just had a preliminary phone interview for a theater admin apprenticeship in D.C. Here's hoping. It's not the only apprenticeship/fellowship position I'm currently applying for, and it's not my top choice, but it's a close second. Will find out next week sometime if I get to the next interview stage.
