bookzombieToday is Friday.
Sunday is the band call and tech rehearsal for Millie.
Monday is the dress rehearsal.
Tuesday to Saturday are the shows.
So guess whose developed a cough and sore throat in the last twenty-four hours? Yep, that would be me.
So I'm working from home for part of today and then probably going back to bed. Hopefully, given how long these things normally last with me, if I take it fairly easy today and tomorrow then my voice will be reasonably back to normal by Sunday.
Also this weekpennskimanaged to end up with three stitches in her hand after slicing it on a broken piece of shower fitting at work! She's fine but being careful what she does with that hand for a few more days!
The show has actually come together very well despite all the issues, but I have never known a show like it for health and injury issues. A summary of the other issues:
1. Original director leaves after a few rehearsals due to illness and other commitments
2. Second director has to drop out due to cervical cancer (she's well on the way to recovery by the way)
3. One of our few men has to sing as little as possible due to throat problems
4. One member of the chorus breaks her leg and has to drop out
5. Our leading lady trips over at the rehearsal hall and breaks a foot bone (three weeks ago!). She's doing fine but in theory should actually have her foot in plaster...
Honestly, it's enough to make you superstitious!
