After another unsuccessful audition yesterday, I spent all of today doing nothing. Nooooooothing. Nothing.
Literally, this is what I did today.
9 – Got up, made coffee and muffins. Moped.
11 – Recorded and edited my podcast.

Ellen bit her lip. The pain was subsiding, and with it she felt her grasp on her story slip away – Dolly the pretty one, Marjorie the silent stern patient one, Mickey the lovable [...]
