email storms

There was an email storm today, right in the midst of what was supposed to be my "getaway" day of hair and facial appointments.

No word from Indianapolis? I contact Toledo and ask to sing for them (why waste a trip?). They say yes. Email from agent: no, no, Indianapolis IS going to hear you! Didn't you get my email? Why, no, I didn't. Ask Toledo about the next day, look into changing flight. I could sing for Toledo on Thurs AM if I call in sick that night (risk losing job, and at the very least, miss out on a much-needed paycheck).

(This is while my foil-covered head is sitting under the dryer)

As of today at 3pm, it's back to Plan A:

Tuesday: drive 3 hrs, sing for Cleveland

Wednesday: drive 5 hrs, sing for Indianapolis

Thursday: fly back, drive directly to church, and get through the Junior Choir rehearsal. On to opera chorus at night, but hopefully no one there will really notice that I'm in a walking coma.

Sometime during Friday and Saturday, I will have a chance to process what the hell happened.

I hope I'm able to focus on singing well, somewhere in there....
