I think I was more productive in the first three days after Seussical closed than I had been during the entire run. I read 3 books, watched 15 episodes of TV shows (I'm working on Alias Season 4 and The West Wing Season 2), had four meal dates with friends I hadn't seen enough of, cooked real food, cleaned my house, cleaned out the fridge, did a giant amount of laundry, and slept whenever I felt like it. It was a great feeling.
That said, I'm excited today to be leaving town because I find I never really take a break unless I get out of town. As long as I am at home it is far too tempting to volunteer, to see theatre, and to talk theatre with folks. When i leave town and visit friends or family, the visits are mostly theatre free and a good chance to rest.
