With the play opening in just over a week, I can’t afford to get sick now. That’s why, when both Jan and I simultaneously felt like we might be coming down with something last night, I knew I had to take special care of myself. I didn’t go to volleyball practice last night because we had an emergency Philip Glass rehearsal; I didn’t go to swing dance class tonight to get some extra rest; I probably won’t go to volleyball tomorrow night either – just to be safe. All day Friday should be dedicated to building last minute set pieces. Then we have the killer tech rehearsals all weekend. My life should return to its normal-yet-hectic status after opening night next Friday. I hope.
