May Gloom

Yesterday Yesenia worked in Griffith Park near Shane's Inspiration.  The weather was not typical LA weather.  It was more like a regular day in San Francisco where it was drizzling and gloomy.  Despite the non-typical day in LA fun was to be had.  Yesenia had so much fun looking for gophers and staying very quiet to see them pop their heads out of their burrows.  At one point she was imitating a guinea pig and it was sniffing and looking around his hole in the ground.  I guess she is that good.
After being on set for close to 10 hours, we rushed back to our own city for acting class.  Although she was so tired she had fun with the other kids and high praises from her acting coach.  She's such a trooper.
Not me.  Either my new thyroid meds did not kick in or sitting outside in the cold reading and talking to other cast members (there was another child actor on set but the guardian was never seen except for lunch) really did me in.
I thank God I still had leftovers from the night before because I only reheat, ate and fell asleep still wearing my clothes!
