The Juggling Act Has Begun

The Juggling Act: Household, Career, and Coffee

Running a household, managing a career in manual osteopathic therapy, working in film & TV, and keeping coffee warm? Sounds like a sitcom script waiting to happen. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the comedy of errors that is my life.

Scene 1: The Household Hustle

Picture this: You’re in the middle of a household chore when your phone rings with an urgent email from your agent: “You've been asked to submit this audition by tomorrow at 4:30pm, can you make it happen?” it asks. As you scramble to finish the dishes, you realize the laundry has mysteriously become a tangled mess of mismatched socks. Meanwhile, the vacuum cleaner has developed a vendetta against your toes. And let’s not forget, the kids—or your dog—are now engaged in a debate over whose turn it is to watch TV. Household management, anyone?

Scene 2: The Osteopath's Odyssey

Fast forward to your osteopathic therapy session. You’re the picture of calm and precision as you work on a client’s alignment. Meanwhile, your mind is racing through your to-do list: finish that film script, submit that audition, prep for the next therapy session, and—oh yes—remember to pick up groceries. Balancing the art of manual therapy with the madness of life outside the clinic is like trying to perform brain surgery while skydiving. And you’re the star of the show!

Scene 3: The Coffee Conundrum

Now, let’s talk coffee. You’ve brewed the perfect cup, only to discover that it’s gone cold by the time you finally have a moment to sit down. You try reheating it, but it never tastes the same. It’s like trying to recapture the magic of a movie scene that’s already been filmed. Every day, you dream of a coffee maker with a “stay warm” feature that actually works. But until then, cold coffee is just another plot twist in the drama of your life.

Epilogue: The Big Finish

In the end, life’s a mix of chaos and comedy. Balancing a household, a career in manual osteopathic therapy, and the glamorous (but often hectic) world of film & TV while trying to enjoy a warm cup of coffee is no easy feat. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that laughter is the best remedy. And when all else fails, there’s always tomorrow to try again. Here’s to embracing the madness and finding joy in the everyday scenes of life.

Cheers to all the juggling acts out there!
