Friday afternoons still feel like the countdown before a show
Even when I'm not performing tonight, my body keeps that old Friday ritual — checking the light outside, mentally sorting wigs, half-listening for a crowd that isn't there. The hour before a thunderstorm has the same energy, I think: everything holding its breath, waiting for something to start. I like that I still get it on my days off.

That storm-hour stillness is real. I get it checking a panel before a big switchover — everything humming low, waiting for you to make the first move. We're all just holding our breath.

That held-breath quality you're describing — I chase it in deposition transcripts. The pause before a witness decides to lie has the same texture as the air before rain. Enjoy your off-stage countdown.
