Been living in a bubble

It's so strange, the feeling you get from working on a production/shoot.

Even though it was only two days this time, yesterday evening, when I got home, it felt like I had been away forever. It felt like I had been abroad. Or lived in a bubble for a while.

This from getting up at five, go to the set, spend the whole day and evening at the set. Then getting home late and crash in to bed. Next morning, same procedure.

This means no news. No talking to family or friends. No actual connection with reality basically.

So, as I said, when I got home last night, I felt like I had been away from home forever.

Today I'm so tired. Which I think is a good thing, as I'm even too tired to be nervous about the visit at the hospital today.

Right now I'm just sitting at home, waiting for the hospital to call, to say that I can come in. I was supposed to call them at seven this morning, which I did, just to get the information that they were full at the moment and that I should wait for them to call, some time during the day, as soon as they had a space for me.

Boring to just sit and wait. But as I'm so tired I wouldn't have been able to do much with this day anyway.

Wish me luck!

You totally summed up how my last two days of shooting have been too. I feel like I just got back from a long trip; it's consuming. Directing is all consuming, as I'll bet your husbands has said on numerous occasions. Now I need a vacation... :)

Tom, yes, my husband is also very drained after directing. But you guys should know how tiring it is to be production managing :) Anyway, we all need and deserve a holiday now, that I totally agree on :)
