Spring Cleaning

Woke up with a HUGE knot behind my left shoulder blade. It hurt and I tried to work it out on my own but when driving to work realized I could barely turn my head towards that shoulder without shooting pain down the back of my shoulder. So I got a hold of my friend Bijan who has been learning massage therapy and body-work and he graciously took time out of his day to come and help me out.

During our work on my muscles and stuff he talked about how our bodies like to hold on to stress and tension thinking that they're helping us when in reality they're hurting us. It's important to try and remind our bodies to let things go and not do more harm than good. My shoulder is feeling better, I'm still sore and tight but i'm working through it and trying to let my stresses drift away.

As part of that my plan is to do some emotional and physical spring cleaning.


  • My closet and drawers need to be reclaimed. I have clothes hanging and folded that I NEVER TOUCH, never even consider wearing for any occasion. Many of which could probably be sold to Plato's closet or something because they are still cute and in great shape, I just dont wear them.
  • My brain needs something to refresh it clean out some anxiety. I need to find some new ways to stimulate myself and clean out some junk that is bogging me down. Finding ways to be honest with myself and open myself up.
  • My body is in desperate need of some cleansing. My diet and exercise has been crappy during this rehearsal process, and I think now that we're on the set my body is feeling it even more than normal. I'm upping my water consumption and I'm going to try and be better about buying much more fresh options for snacking and cooking and living. 

Also my house is a disaster area. I'm working so much and rehearsing so much.... good god this place is ridiculous. It'll get there. We open Noises off in a week and that's exciting!!!
