ADJUSTING TO A NEW SCHEDULE with a 9-5 job [BAGGU HAUL, work-life balance, auditions & callbacks]

I'm so non-committable. Sagittarius! Literally our first rehearsal. That I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but I know what I'm doing. Well, there it is. I am so tired, but we got our script! What's good y'all? It's morning. I am running through lines because we have callbacks tomorrow. Yesterday I did the audition. I'm gonna take a little break. I just recorded my lines so I can listen to them as I go for a walk. It's such a beautiful day outside. It's so so pretty outside. I got a chance to write through a lot of the different things that I feel might be Tanya, is the character's name. So we'll see. It's also interesting. I was talking to my friends and it's very interesting because this is the first audition that I've done in a very long time for theater. I want to like encourage myself to just like go out there again. But the way that my body is reacting. I am sweating. Anxiety up the wazoo. You know, it's cool. It's cool to navigate through all of these feelings again and see how my body's changed, how I react, how things are going and yeah. Anyways, that's it. Oh my gosh. And my brother yesterday. They bought me a little gift. I didn't use it this morning, but I could have. Look how pretty this cup is. Dice Mexico on the little handle. Where'd it go? Mexico right there. So cute. I love it. Oh my gosh, it's so cute. Hola, señores. I'm gonna throw on my sweater because I'm cold. I just had my lunch, my brunch, my breakfast. Yeah, my brunch. I had eggs, sausages and some potatoes. It was delicious. I went for a walk this morning. I'm getting back into my running. If you saw the other video, I'll link it. But I'm going. I'm starting to go again, which is really nice. So nice to have my body not hurt so much when I run at all. You know what I mean? My knee isn't yet. But anyways, I ate my food and now I'm gonna finish getting ready for my call back. I'm gonna run through the lines for a little bit. That way I can just get them out in the world. Okay, I'm gonna finish getting ready. Peace in the streets, y'all. Oh, she is zoomed in. I think that I am procrastinating. Now I will do these lines out loud. Just get them out in the open. This is what we have going on. Not these. But I'm such a bagu stand. I've got the slippers. I've got the pillowcase. I am procrastinating. I've got the towel. This is one of two. And not only that, I got the laptop case. There's more. If you guys want a bagu haul, hit me up. I do have more. I do have an airpod case. And then I also have a bucket hat from them. I want to get more bags. I want to get more pouches. I also have... Maybe that's it. Maybe that's all I have. Bags. I think that's it. Well, there it is. I couldn't exactly tell you why I do the things I do, but I can tell you what I do. And maybe you can tell me why I do the things I do. So here's what I do. These are my work shoes. I wear these all the time. These are some support silicone things that are supposed to give you arch support. Arch support? Arch support. I bought these at the end of 2021. Primarily for my New York trip. I bought these and then another one. Bought these. Never put them in my shoes. Never use them. Jump now to 2023. I have this job. I'm not really on my feet too much. It's a leisure kind of stroll that I do in the studio. So I thought, I don't really need them. And I have this thing where I don't really want to use something. They have a backing so you can stick it into the shoe. And I'm so non-committable. Sagittarius. That I just... I just didn't... I thought, I don't really know if I want to have them in these specific shoes. Do I actually want to commit and put them in here? So instead, I didn't put them in here. I left my shoes without any support. And then guess who paid for it? I did. My back hurt. My knees hurt. My hips hurt. So what I did, I started stretching of course. And you know, alleviating that pain. And then I thought, why am I doing this? Why am I wasting precious support when I could just put it in my shoe right now? So I finally did. I put these guys in my shoe for like a full week. I wore them at work. Didn't take off the sticky tabs. Sagittarius. Still. So put them in. Felt incredible. The way that I just felt like I just like lifted off the floor. I was floating on clouds. I felt so much relief and comfort. So anyways, my next step is to take off the little backings and officially stick them onto my shoes. So if you want to see that, comment down below, like this video. Okay, look, I'm actually doing it. I just took off the sticky. Oh my gosh, these are very sticky. I'm also supposed to be able to stick them. Oh my gosh, that is perfect. Okay, let's do this to the other one. I'm also supposed to take, be able to like switch them out for different shoes and stuff. Just me here standing with my shoes. Oh yeah, my gosh is ripping up the insoles of my actual shoe. Damn, this is sticky. Oh my gosh, so much better. Oh yeah. Okay, that is all. Take care of yourselves. Hello, buenos dias. I feel like I'm always only filming whenever I go and get my waxing done or my sugaring done. And that's like once a month, which makes sense as to why I post like once a month. Hi, gonna be out here hitting the town, run my errands. First stop was my sugaring and then I have to go to Target. I have been pushing this Target run for so long. I made my list on the app because I wanted to see like how much everything would be. I made this list like maybe three weeks ago. That's how far, okay, I'll say two, I'll say two. But like I've had all of these things in my cart and sure the easy thing would be to just do a drive up and freaking get that in. But I hate how many bags they give you and they'll just bag like one thing and I get it. It's multiple people choosing all of your things and all of that. Like they're not going to communicate, oh hey, I have so and so's order. You can just put it in the same bag. I get it. And for that reason, I'm just not going to do drive up ever again. Then that means that I have to go inside because I have my bags. I have bags within bags. Oh my gosh. I also, I got this new bagu bag. Oh my gosh. I've been waiting forever. I, y'all, I'm going to show you this bag. Actually, this is pretty much it. It's a, it's a cloud bag is what it's called. It's in the color taupe. It was sold out forever. But more bagu. I have my bags, you know, so I don't need their plastic ones. And then I also have like a bag full of Target bags that I'm using for my trash can. It's just like, I don't need that. I don't need that. So I'm going to bite the bullet, go inside and get all the little things on my own. And I also have to go to the grocery store. So I need to put my other bags in my bag. I just love bags. I guess I should say reusable bags, right? And also these I got for free. My ex-boyfriend's mom gave those to me. All right. So we're just going to go about the day. This is the reason. This is the main reason why I'm filming. I am going to my first rehearsal in six years for a play. And I'm so excited. I'm pretty sure I kept you guys in the loop with wanting to audition and then going to the audition and getting called back. And I was sort of just in the mindset of like, I just want to play. I just want to play on the stage again, do a little doodad here and there and then see what happens. And lo and behold, this is what happens. And I get to be a pregnant wife. And I am so excited. Anyways, life is good. I also have been eating so much gluten, so many bad foods. And look, so this is like three, four days straight of bad dinners. And then I should be starting my period soon too. All right. We're going to get to driving. I got new pencils too. I went to Target as well. Finally got all my stuff at Target. I still didn't even get a few things because that Target is much smaller. We really need a toilet paper. We still had some. But I mean, we're women. We go bathroom. We got a wipe for urination and for poops. We have menstrual cycles. Do you know what it means? It's like a necessity, obviously. I mean, everybody needs... I don't know why I'm trying to convince you that toilet paper is a necessity. Like we all know that. My side of the fridge was empty. It was bare. All I had was that brown sugar creamer. But we have had so many naps. Oh my gosh. And now I'm sweating because I'm getting nervous again. Tomorrow we have... I need it. We're gonna move again. I am feeling so insecure about going to rehearsals for the first day because I feel like I didn't do enough preparation. But it's also like literally our first rehearsal. I was just going over the lines. I didn't print any of my script out because I'm pretty sure they're going to give us a script there. They just gave us like an electronic one. But like I haven't done this in so long that I feel like I don't know what I'm doing. But I know what I'm doing. Like I understand this character. I understand what's going on. I have so many different ideas and things that I want to try and play with. I'm going to be pregnant in the show. Like this is all good. So I just keep reminding myself of that because otherwise we got a little perspiration going here because I get a little nervous. I haven't been out of my house like this in a very long time. Like past eight o'clock. Usually I'm home by 7 30. And now I'm going to be leaving to be somewhere at seven every night. Yeah like four days out of the week. Let's fucking see how this goes. Honestly that's what's making me really nervous too is the fact that will I be able to handle this new schedule? It's only for two months. I'm like I'm psyching myself out. I'm sincerely just psyching myself out. But like can I actually do it? Well we'll see. We'll see. I'm already in it. I already agreed. I already said yes. So now I'll have to do- Oh I have to take my highlighters too. God I fucking love stationery. Anyways it'll be good. It'll be good. I'll see how much I can film today. But I'll definitely like film some of the process and stuff. Oh my gosh I'm so excited. Okay later y'all. I am usually in bed by this time. Hello and greetings. It's Karina after hours. We did it. I filmed absolutely nothing of this endeavor of my first rehearsal. But we got our scripts. Fun official. Oh the cast is great. The script. Just reading it with everybody is phenomenal. Like it was already a really good script which is why I wanted to do the show to begin with. But I just- Oh I love collaborations. Love them. I'm gonna get inside. I'm gonna get ready for bed. Oh I have work and rehearsals tomorrow. Will I be able to handle this new schedule? Oh that feels so good. I'm so excited. This is the worst possible lighting and angle. That changes so much. Whatever. I can't- I'm probably- Once I get going, I get going and I lose track of my framing. Okay I'm gonna go inside and urinate. Later y'all. We're in the office now. I'm working on these little- We're doing like a meet the team. I took pictures of all of us. Gonna look something like this. I'm gonna go to sleep. I'm so tired. I had rehearsals last night and then I had rehearsals today and I also had work. I'm exhausted but it feels good. It feels like I'm back in college and it feels like like I'm doing it. You know like like the things that I want to do I'm doing. That's what it feels like. Okay I'm gonna go to bed. I just wanted to say that this is what I actually look like going to bed. Okay now really good night. It's not as curly as I thought. In traffic as per usual, I am so tired. I'm so tired. I'm tired. Like I'm tired. I haven't been this tired in a very long time. Did I mention I was tired? Because I'm tired. But it's also like a good tired I guess because it definitely is worth feeling this way. At least for two months. That's what I'm telling myself. Like Karina you can do it for two months. Just two months. But it's officially the end of week two of like having a job, having rehearsal, trying to have a social life. Just so tired. Tired. But it was so good. See I'm just back and forth you know. I am so excited for my weekend. I don't want to do anything. Did I mention I don't want to do anything? And it was uneven and then he got mad at me. So hopefully I'll sleep a lot on Sunday. I remembered why I even like wanted to film and say things. Because I'm so tired I am so forgetful. Like I can barely function right. We just don't. We just that's just that's just it. That's just that's just it. And this morning I'm so thankful my roommate was awake because I locked myself out. I left my keys hanging in the little key ring. And when I tell you it's literally two feet like two inches away from the door. I'm just so close. I have like a routine. I I we lock the the bottom thing and then you know you can lock it from the inside. So I do that. I grab my keys and I walk out. I take out my keys. I'm unlocking my car and then I speed walk to my car. Not that it's like a very far walk to my car. It's just I I'm on a mission right. Like I set myself up and now I'm ready to go. But I walked out and I was like there's something missing. I'm missing something. And yeah I just I'm just tired. I just got to work and I'm so tired. I'm so tired. So so tired. Wahoo! I am ready for rehearsal. I feel new. Not really. I also had an extra coffee at work. So I feel like that helped amplify my energy. Which is great because the second half firstly gives me so much energy afterward. Because it's like an adrenaline rush. This is where I'm like yelling at the neighbors. Chaos. Fun stuff. And then usually after rehearsal like I'm so energized and I can't fall asleep. So hopefully I can wind down quick enough. Luckily tomorrow I don't have to wake up super early like I do on Thursdays. Okay I'm gonna go inside. Okay later y'all. I'm hungry and I'm tired. I'm gonna go and make some rice and gyozas. That's it. Went to get my fingerprints done. Now I'm in the system. Just kidding. I've just been watching a lot of SVU so I like DNA. These aren't DNAs. I mean it's different. Probably the same right? Like am I that far off? I'm pretty sure. Pretty sure. I don't know. Anyways I'm at the theater. But I stopped by. I got some Mendocino Farms. I gave my roommate, my current roommate, so much shit about oh my gosh this is such an overpriced salad. Like why would you want to do that? Where are you gonna pay $13 just to eat a bunch of lettuce? It's me! I'm doing it now. Dude but let me tell you like this is real good. I don't know what they do. This one is the avocado quinoa salad. I'm super early to rehearsal but I'm not too sure. Because I went I got my fingerprints done. I'm not too sure how early I can go into the rehearsal space and I can easily text my stage manager. Oh my gosh. Oh the puppy! I'm gonna eat some more of my salad. Oh no! I just vacuumed my car. I finished the salad. Try not to make a mess of everything. And then at some point get into the rehearsal space and go over my lines. Okay later y'all. Catch you on the flippity flip. On the flip side. On the- Catch you- I'mma- I'mma go. Just realized I ate my salad and it had onions. And I'm about to go to rehearsal. I'm so sorry to my castmates. I'm trying to see if I have a little mint. I think I might have eaten it already. Oh no! Yes I do. I have a mint. I am so tired. I'm so tired I'm irritable. And I don't think that that is suitable for rehearsals. I think I'm also kind of irritable because- Oh that's such a cute romper. All day today I don't know what it is but my gut- Again with my gut. I think every single video I have mentioned my gut. There was this pain. It felt like cramps. But I am not starting soon. There's no reason for my cramps to be happening right now. Like it doesn't make sense. I didn't eat anything weird. And if anything I've been eating very good this week. However, I realized that that was at work because I just couldn't take it. It felt like cramps and I was getting so agitated that I couldn't figure it out. And I couldn't get rid of the pain. But then I realized that the last few days I started doing a new Pilates routine. So really I'm just sore. But it was different. Let me tell you guys. It was a different kind of pain. I have never felt that way. It was different. But that also tells me that I'm targeting the right areas. Okay. I'm gonna go into the rehearsal space because I have to urinate. And then I have to get my energy up. I'm gonna go do that. Peace, love, and happiness y'all.
