Today I am a space cadet *whoosh!* into the stratosphere. I woke up 5am ish after a 48 hours film anxiety dream wherein Steve was working on another movie at the same time and all these tall men from the other film were hanging around and getting in our way. I woke up frightened that I would throw up and actually having strange rushes of saliva up my throat which I had to keep swallowing down.
I managed to calm down which seemed to help a lot, although I felt like crap when the alarm went off and after woozing through my shower and getting the shakes from the cool air I got right back into bed and didn't get up again for quite some time.
What I did do today was buy workout clothes. It was because I needed to go out and get something for lunch and I didn't want to walk so I thought I'd drive and then I thought since I'd be out I might as well take the car and buy the trackpants I'd seen in supre on Saturday. Then I went to Glassons and bought a slim line hoodie and the other Breast Cancer tee I wanted. I was in a very strange frame of mind, spaced out and somewhat singleminded.
My supermarket doesn't sell rolled oats. It sells Allison Holst brand "wholesome oats". I stared at the bulk bins for a wee while trying to see if there were plain old rolled ones, but I had to go for the wholesome ones instead. Odd.
I watched Dr Phil and dozed on and off until about 3pm then I got up and made wholesome oaty cookies. They are packed with sunflower seeds, dried apricots and coconut, not to mention uhm, sugar and butter, but they should be high energy for the full-on weekend. I intend to have them on location with me so snacks can be had between takes. We won't have the same surplus of bananas as we did last year and I suspect they'll actually be missed.
I have also done dishes, washing and lots of reading. I finished May Bird, (ended pretty annoyingly- leading straight into the next book with no resolution) and started one called Uglies by Scott Westerfield which is about a future where at 16 years old everyone undergoes an operation to become pretty and moves into a different part of town to have constant parties. The main girl is just a couple of weeks off the operation when she meets a girl who doesn't approve of the whole system and runs away to an alternative society.
In tone it's very similar to Feed, which I loved, although the pace is a little slow. Hum, want to read Feed again.
