Mamajuana
The play was a huge hit. Everyone loved the costumes and I’m so incredibly stoked. The cast was really nice, with one exception. The director and direction was brilliant. I could watch it over and over. It may play in the summer for a longer run.
I did the costumes design and also the wardrobe supervision, which is super tough. This is the second job where I did both. I’m learning a lot about supervision though. I did a lot of sewing and alterations. I surprised myself!
I dragged out my old sewing machine which I had not used in a super long time. I need to get a new one but the old one held up well. I actually gave away a few sewing machines over the years; ones that were given to me. I’m weird that way. I need a completely new machine to be inspired. I think I will start making clothes again.
While working on the play, I tried a sample of this herbal tea from the Dominican Republic called Mamajuana. It really helped me! It has, like, 20 herbs in it, including sarsaparilla, which I already knew to be helpful.
I’ve also been drinking homemade goji berry smoothies, that’s helping so much! I realize that one of my big health problems is abuse of my adrenals from consistent, prolonged stress. Goji really helps with that.
My unemployment was increased, hallelujuh! I’m so behind in my bills and owe so many people, I don’t even know where to start. I literally have brain freeze, regarding parsing out money, which is bad because I owe my utility bill.
Got booked to do a short film. The director and I are not seeing eye to eye at all. More on that later. I really just want to get it done. He’s being vague about the actual shoot. I’ll state it here: if this doesn’t get shot by the end of Feb., I’m outie.
Had an interview last night for another play. It was weird interviewing. The last two jobs I got, I got on the strength of my online portfolio or recommendation (the way it should be). I suck in interviews, lol.
