Today marks the one year anniversary when everything began to shut down. For me it was teaching assignments that suddenly were cancelled along with an prime acting assignment and a few play presentations; to say that I was devastated would be an understatement.  All I remember about that time is it seemed that I was always deleting events from my calendar and with each deletion my calendar looked more and more like a barren wasteland. This week has been a good one, but it didn't start out that way. I had an appointment to see my doctor, the first in a year and the results were fine but also not great. They talk about Covid-19 weight and my lord was I ever hit with it. When I got home after seeing the doctor was I ever in a funk. I shut off the lights and just went to been for six hours of whoa is me pity party dreams. I let my self have this moment of self pity and it was time to get back on my feet and find my structure again and so far I have. Some good news did not hurt. I received another Artist Relief Grant and a couple of teaching residencies have fallen my way and for this I am very, very grateful. I also got my first of two vaccine shots. Yes, I believe even without wearing my glasses there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
