I remember someone telling me sometime that we keep having to learn the same lesson over and over until we finally, actually learn the lesson.

This week I had to learn my recurring lesson twice!

I worked myself up unneccessarily over work early in the week when I had to tell them I couldn’t come in for my shifts at all. I fretted and sweated over what to say and how to say it. Finally I simply stated I couldn’t come in and the response was as simple as, “Ok, we’ll look at the schedule and work it out.” When I hung up the phone I laughed at myself out loud.

Then yesterday and today I got worked up unneccessarily again when I was preparing to really, truly, give my two weeks notice once and for all. No kidding. And at the end of my shift today I simply placed the letter in my boss’s office and drove home. I kept expecting to get a frantic phone call, but no such phone call ever came. Again, I am laughing.

Am I so egotistical as to think that a business can’t go on without me? Sure, I’m valued, but the Spa will certainly keep running long after I am gone. Some people don’t even give 2 weeks, but I had to give it twice! Haha–now that’s just comedy.

My brother asked me tonight if I got that part I spoke about in my last post. Well, no. But what I took away from that audition was just as valuable. I learned that I simply need to go to my auditions and have fun. He said, “Stop trying to be a serious actress and just go in there and be as fucking funny as you are!”

PS: The Alaskan cruise was fun…

This past week flew by. It was a good week…

It started last Sunday when I woke up and went shopping at Trader Joe’s with the gift card my parents gave me for my birthday (seriously one of the best gifts ever!)…I happily bought my groceries only to find when I returned to the parking lot, that I had locked my keys in my car. Unfortunately this is a more common experience than I’d like to admit and you’d think that I would join AAA after the first time, but no. So I swear a few times and stand there, wondering how on earth, on a Sunday, I can get the door open without having to call an expensive tow truck…

I call a friend who lives nearby. No AAA. Company car.

I call my parents, who are in Northern California. Can’t really help.

I swear again.
