After a break from everything, I'm back to report.
Despite the transit strike, I was able to make it to the Newark airport and was with my family by noon. The entire trip ended up being a recuperation vacation. I was quite ill for a majority of the time including Christmas Eve and Christmas. I was trying not to be a bummer or ruin anyone's Christmas, but I had no energy and wasn't my normal chipper self. It was an amazing Christmas though. My parent's spoiled all of us as usual and although my enthusiasm was subdued, I appreciate everything they gave me. My mom was especially sweet when she gave me her gift. She had taken all the diamonds from my Grandma's wedding ring and had necklaces made for me, my sister and herself. We all got a little teary-eyed and wished Grandma could have been there with us.
Tyler surprised me with a Christmas miracle...a new iPod to replace the stolen one. It is absolutely glorious, 30GB, video, color. It's a beautiful thing.
I don't have too much more to say about the vacation. I was a terrible, terrible friend and didn't feel well enough to call very many people. That's something I'll be doing in the next couple of days. For all my Jewish friends, I still have a couple of days to make it before the holiday is over.
Today was an adventure in the travel diary. We left Salt Lake at 11:45 pm and flew to Atlanta...2 hour layover...flew to Newark...2 hours of train rides home and walked in the door at 11:00 am. Not the most ideal but I was so happy to be home I didn't really care how long it took me to get there.
After chasing the moon across America several times over in the past two months I am ready to stay in one place for a while. I'm looking forward to a bit of routine and a normal schedule. I know I'll be cursing the fact that I just said that in about a week, but I can't very well get another acting job if I'm not even here to audition.
And that's the next chapter.
