I'm not sure if you heard about the dust storm in Amarillo, but here in DFW, we are dealing with hazy skies and dust in the air. It's not been pleasant. Hoping for a relaxing day -- but first, more coffee.

After a relaxing evening at home and a great night's sleep, I'm up and sipping a dark roast and checking my socials. I've got plans for the day, including a drive to Irving for lunch followed by a friend's birthday party.

And with the close of one show, we've already begun rehearsal for #LCTRossum. I'm looking forward to moving from directing to acting. But today is for rest and for the #AcademyAwards.

After an amazing performance last night and a celebration with drinks and snacks at The Brass Tap, I was asleep when my head hit the pillow. But it's a new day, starting with coffee and relaxation.

4 performances down, just 2 to go. The aftershow party was at #Blends good food and $5 margarita daiquiris! And now I've got my coffee, watching some TV, and snuggling with Hawkeye.

After an amazing performance last night and a celebration with drinks and dinner at The Rackhouse, I was asleep when my head hit the pillow. But it's a new day, starting with coffee and relaxation.

We had a spectacular show on Saturday followed by daiquiris and great food at #Blends. And now I've got my coffee, watching some TV, and finally getting around to taking down the Xmas Tree (don't judge me).

Hot coffee is the best way to start the day. I'll be relaxing until about 11am, and then it's up to the theatre to begin a week of tech rehearsals for #LCTGodOfCarnage, we open on the 14th!!

Peace and quiet before the day officially begins; hot coffee and some tv. I've got some painting at the theatre on my schedule, as well as a production meeting for the show that follows mine, #LCTRossumsUniversalRobots.

It's becoming more and more difficult to remain hopeful. Every morning I wake up to more bullshit the orange stain has done or said. When asked about visiting the crash site, #ConvictedFelonTrump said, “You want me to go swimming?”

So grateful for #Starbucks coupons, sipping on a hot mocha blend! I've got set construction on the calendar and some birthday activities.

I'm hoping to do some birthday activities today, lunch, and something fun with the family. But for now, enjoying some peace and quiet, everyone is still in bed, and sipping on a dark roast.

Severe cold weather has returned, highs in the mid-30s for the next 3 days! It's not really what I wanted for my birthday week, but I'll survive. Hot coffee, faucets dripping, and a warm blankey.

As temperatures fall, I've got hot coffee, and the heater is set to 72°F. I've got some errands to run in preparation for the LCT Gala & Awards, which I will be hosting tonight. What are your plans?

We finally went an entire night without dipping below freezing, and our cute snowgal is slowly melting. I brewed some coffee to welcome the day, heading to the theatre to do some set/props things a bit later.

I'm enjoying my Starbucks Holiday Brew to start the day. I'm chilling a bit before the day starts; narrowed the washing machine choices between a Maytag and a Whirlpool. Heading out later today to finalize it.

It's good to be back home and sleeping in my own bed. It was a wonderful vacation, and I'm so grateful for an amazing family. I've got my coffee in a brand new mug, and it's time to catch up on some tv!

Christmas Vacation Day 9

As the holidays wind down, we still have time for morning coffee and spending time with family. I've been told there may be a round of bowling planned for later in the day.

Christmas Vacation Day 8

Our last production of LCT's 2024 season came to an end yesterday, and the set has been struck. I'm starting the day sipping coffee, catching up on my socials, and watching some TV.

Christmas Vacation Day 2

I'm sipping coffee, catching up on my socials, and watching last night's SNL episode. The washing machine, which has been operating in an odd fashion, has finally quit working, so that's fun. :-(
