Attachment to things…

I spent this last week making a film with a small group of people.  I knew some of them beforehand but most of them I had never met.  It got to be stressful after a week being in small spaces waiting to be called to set.  I did enjoy it.  I learned so much about what really goes into being in a film and how long you have to wait sometimes.  At least one of the days I was on set for 10 hours for 30 minutes of filming.  It was totally worth it and I cannot wait to see the product at the end of April.

Today was the last day.  I was tired and looking forward to saying goodbye to the people I had worked with all week and head to the gym.  I returned to the room we had been in all day today and the first thing I noticed was my hat was missing.  This is not just any hat.  This is my black and pink furry hat with ears that I have guarded like a hawk for 7 years because I loved that hat.  It had been on the back of my chair with my coat and I knew the minute I walked in it was gone.  Someone had taken it.  It had not been lost because it was on the chair when I went for my last call.  I was so heartbroken.  I had shared in the morning how much it meant to me because several people commented on how much they liked it.    This is one of the reasons I am so diligent about keeping my things together and constantly keep track of where things are.  Especially when I really like something.  So, my hat is gone.  I cannot do anything about it.  I just hate that this kept me from spending the time I wanted to spend saying goodbye to the people I had spent a week with.  I was so upset I went to my car and cried.   I am glad I will see them again in April when we have our opening.  As for the person who took my hat.  I feel sorry for them that they felt they had to steal something from someone.
