When I'm doing a show and I'm playing an unmarried character, I remove my wedding ring.
I used to take it off before every performance. But sometimes I forgot. And I would try to remove it during the show.
Then I would have to worry about losing it.
Now, I remove it before the play opens.
I took my wedding ring off my finger almost two months ago for Burn. Just before the show started.
The play ended a month ago.
And I kept meaning to put my ring back on.
But I'd only think of it when I wasn't at home.
Also, even though the ring has been off for almost two months, you can still see the indentation of the ring on my finger.
Even though it's been off for weeks, it still feels like it's on.
If I rub my finger with my thumb, I feel an indentation, instead of a bump.
But it's still a reminder of my ring.
Of my love.
Of my Deb.
It's back on my finger now.
It will stay on it until The Game's Afoot opens.
And then we'll see how long it takes for me to remember to put it back on.
Although, in my heart, in never comes off.
