Can you say stressed out?

[raloria]

I'm scrambling to get things done before the film shoot tomorrow. I get the Call Sheet. Oh, goody, hardly any parking. The production budget only allows for 4 parking spaces inside the garage. Everybody carpool. Right. Problem is, I live out here in nowheresville, some 15 to 20 miles from Seattle. I really doubt that anyone lives way out here that I can carpool with. I ask about other parking. Sure there's parking in lots where you pay $3.00/2 hours....and we're going to be there from 11 a.m. until 8 at night. Lovely. Not.

So I regretfully turn to my old backup....family. My aunt & uncle live one house down from ours. So mom & went over there to ask. My aunt is always up for helping us whenever possible....my uncle, not so much. He's gotten to be a cantankerous goat in his old age. Really doesn't want to help family at all, especially if he deems you unworthy or it's too much bother to him. *sigh* Anyway, he has a prior appointment and couldn't do it, so my aunt volunteers. There's some near, minor spats between the two of them and of course I'm starting to like the whole idea less and less. But she has agreed to take me there and then she said they'll both come pick me up once we wrap at 8.

Gah! Like I'm not stressed out already tonight about this whole gig. Then I have to go and beg ask for a ride. I can only hope the other locations we'll be filming at have better parking situations. I don't want to keep bothering them all the time. And yes, I'm still nervous as ever. I just want to get tomorrow over so I know what I've gotten myself into.

And I don't normally talk about my family and relatives here on LJ, but this is a flocked post and I'm stressed and really need to let some of it out through words. And man, am I missing my IM chat buddies right now! :(
