Ups and Downs

Man, what an exhausting few days! Such an emotional roller coaster - high highs, low lows, and crazy in-betweens as well.

Friday was Friday the 13th, so we were pretty shocked when we made it through that day unscathed! We made the mistake of saying so out loud, though, and the universe threw us plenty of bad luck the next day to make up for it. Friday was a chill day though; Han was on the set of Major Crimes and had a super easy day of background work, and Luce had an audition for a webseries that went really, really well!

Saturday was our roller coaster day. Luce woke up early to go for a second audition (at 8:00am) at the same place she auditioned at last week! It was a fairly cruisey audition and seemed to go well, and luckily, with our packed schedule for the day, it was nice and quick! 

When Luce got home we only had about 40 minutes before we had to head over to Chambers' for a last minute rehearsal! The rehearsal was great and we all left to head over to the Lounge for the show, pumped up and ready to go! The bummer was that between leaving Chambers' place and arriving at the Lounge Theatre, we got a $68 parking ticket and then got hit by another car!! What?!! Friday the 13th a day late, are you kidding me?!! We went into the theatre completely frazzled and frustrated, but turned things around and actually felt like the show was the best it's ever been! We left afterwards to head out to Mum and Q's for the afternoon because Brendan was visiting! We were only 5 minutes into the drive out to Corona, though, when we got a call to turn back around and come back to the Lounge. We don't want to write too much about it on the blog, but in short, just after the show, Sullivan found out that a close family member of hers had passed away. We spent the afternoon doing everything we could to comfort Sully and be there for her. Our hearts were breaking for her and we're hoping and praying that she's doing better now that she's in Michigan with her family. 

We still managed to make it out to Mum and Q's much later that night and we got to catch up with Brendie for a little bit! So lovely! We also further abandoned the diet, true to style when we visit, and had a delicious (late) dinner. It was the longest day and we were so relieved to go to sleep and let go of the stress and sadness and excitement and worry and everything else that was going on.

Sunday came so soon! In the morning Mum made us waffles and we got to wish Qee a happy Father's Day in person, what a bonus!! We headed out pretty early to make it back in time for the show (with a quick stop for boba on the way). Our very last performance of GGGG was a total success, we're gonna miss all those clowns! It's been such a fun experience with so many truly incredible and talented people, we were so lucky to be involved! 

After the show we went through the car wash and finally got the Subi cleeeeaan! YAY! Then headed home for a few hours (with a stop at Ralph's. It took us about 20 minutes to decide on our last baked-goods masterpiece) before the FINAL GoT night!!! 

We were greeted at the door by a helmet-and-cloak/blanket-clad Mike (the watcher on the wall), ready for the last episode of the season!! 

We had dinner and waited for Eddie, who's watched all 3 and 9/10 seasons of the show in two weeks to catch up for the finale!!! 

When Eddie arrived we brought out our (Lucy's) masterpiece of a cake!

The pic doesn't even come CLOSE to doing it justice!! It's French Vanilla cake dyed purple (in honor of the purple wedding that happened in episode 2 of the season) with raspberry and vanilla icing in the middle and golden sprinkles on top! Amazing!! 

The episode itself was SO satisfying, WOW! It was action packed and easily one of the most epic episodes of the entire show, we were blown away! It was the perfect end to our GoT night tradition, we're going to miss the show so much! Already going through withdrawal...!

Today was the ultimate rest and recovery day and it was absolutely perfect. We slept in, did some cleaning, finished Orange is the New Black, started sorting out the car dramas, and Luce cooked up an amazing dinner. It was exactly what we needed after our crazy busy weekend!
