My brain is currently in lalaland. On days I have to wake up at 4am for work my brain more or less craps out around 7pm leaving me in a fuzzy daze. If of this post is incoherent, you know why 🙂
חַג שָׂמֵחַ to those of you celebrating Passover. Passover is arguably my favorite holiday- it’s filled with traditions, means spring is on the way and it’s one of the rare times I get to see the entire extended family on both my mother and father’s side. Two seders full of delicious home cooking = one happy Kayla.

After being home for the weekend, I’m feeling like a confused mess! Starting my work week on a Wednesday has got me all confused and I desperately need to go food shopping, do laundry, and basically organize my life after a weekend away. But hey, being at my parent’s house kind of felt like a fake vacation!
Since being back in Manhattan life has been a whirlwind of jobs, studying and attempting to have fun every so often. I catch myself frequently say “When things slow down I’ll ______”
When things slow down I’ll reorganize the closet by the front door (currently a graveyard for reusable Whole Foods bags and old lululemon shopping bags)
When things slow down I’ll start auditioning for shows
When things slow down I’ll go through my closet and drawers to get rid of the things I no longer wear from freshman year
When things slow down I’ll cook more and eat healthier and stop getting take out all the time (damn you NYC and your delicious + convenient food)
When things slow down I’ll blog more.
I can’t keep track of how many jobs I currently work, my own fitness is still a top priority, I want to see as much theater as possible, I’m in a (semi) long distance relationship, and I’m trying to maintain friendships. So yeah, things are busy.
But then again life was pretty crazy in college too when I was juggling 18 credits and 4+ shows a semester.
The truth is, things don’t slow down. Hopefully my work schedule will become more predictable in the future, and my free time won’t be spent going on interviews and teaching demos… but then the next set of conflicts will arise.
What are you putting off doing until things get less crazy? I know for me my acting career is currently on the back burner, I’ve lost contact with a lot of my friends from growing up and college and I keep saying I’ll start cooking more.
Why not now?
There’s never going to be a good time. I learned that last year when I decided to do a 22 day yoga challenge in the midst of graduating college. There will always be excuses and reasons why you think things will be better in the future…. but why not do them now?
I will reorganize the closet by the front door.
I will get back into the acting groove and get back to voice lessons and dance classes
I will go through my closet and dresser to throw out the things I no longer wear (and therefore make room for new stuff!)
I will make an effort to meal plan ahead of time, buy what I need for the week, and prepare as much food as possible when I do have the time
and I will blog more.
