Son of a Beach

She had one day off in-between her last show and rehearsal for the next.  She already felt lighter, her schedule finally letting up.  She was also a little panicked, as she would have more time to accept dates from the dating site.  Both her previous dates had requested a second, but she wasn't interested in either one of them.  She did need to give the weapon back to the first one, so she supposed she was going to have to go on a second date whether she liked it or not.

She put her phone on airplane mode, and decided to just enjoy the day.  She, BFF, and Dusky had decided to go to the lake for the afternoon before seeing BFF's show.  They took photos all day, sat in the sun, went in the pool, and basically just relaxed and worked on their tans.  She managed to only get burned on one leg, so badly that it was swollen before the show even started.  She popped two painkillers and managed to get through the show, only almost falling asleep once.  It had been a long day and a lot of sun.

After the show they ended up giving another friend a ride home, and she caravaned everyone back to their homes before heading home herself.  She still had so much to do for the week, but she was too tired to do anything but get some after-sun lotion slathered on her and falling into bed.  

As she feel asleep she thought about how great the day had been, simple.  No drama of the past show, the new show shaping up to be amazing.  Everything was still busy, but her mind was finally calming down.  She'd only coughed a few times that day, and was sure that her sickness had been her just sick of dealing with the drama of the show.

She finally felt like life was leveling out.  Just as she drifted off, she realized she might have just jinxed herself.
