Callback: "Dodge" Sobo Casting.
Wow, I can't believe I made this one. I'm sooo not feeling well. But I'm trying to keep it moving...and can't really afford to miss callbacks...though I'm sure I should try to rest more. I'm surprised I even got a callback for this...I thought they were looking for a surfer girl and that is sooo not me. I guess we'll see.
As I was trying to rest earlier, my elderly neighbor knocked on my door. Her husband has Parkinson's and he'd fallen and couldn't get up. I've helped him before when he fell outside my door and let me tell ya, it wasn't easy. I knew I shouldn't be trying to lift a 90 year old man with his 80 year old wife in my condition, but really...what are you gonna do. I told her to give me a second to get dressed and I'd be right there. When I got there he was lying on the floor, his wife said "we need a man". I told her I didn't know any...which is unfortunately too true. The old man said "be careful". I told them that I could handle it and I went about trying to lift him up. After 5 or 10 min I got him to his feet...his wife called me their angel...no, I said, I'm certainly no angel. The old man told said thank you, which is just about the extent of his English and I went home. As soon as I laid down I knew I had over done it and was really not feeling well. But even in my weakness I was strong enough to help and for that I'm grateful. My mom always said..."there's always someone worse off than you." I'm really glad I could help. Even though it made my body feel worse, it made my spirit feel better.
