The only thing still annoying me is my voice. For the most part, this nagging sickness is finally gone…but my voice is still not entirely back. And now we have to go into the recording studio tomorrow to record our tracks (just in case we do lose our voice on tour or if they want to make a cast album one day) and I want to be as healthy vocally as I can be. I even turned down going out for drinks with my Busytown cast tonight (which I’ve been looking forward to all week) to stay in, drink tea and not talk…cus I don’t think spending the night in a loud bar, drinking beer would help my current vocal condition.
It’s just really starting to frustrate me now. Because I really want to be at my best. And I think the fact that I do go into rehearsal and still dance and sing as hard as I can, regardless of my health, is not helping my voice come back as fast as it should. I just really need a rest…and there’s no time. We open in just over a week. I’m just so mad with my body right now, I’m sick of this. I. JUST. WANT. TO. BE. BETTER.
Thankfully, my roommate Kaitlin is super understanding. She’s not sick…but she’s very similar to me in the sense that we get home from rehearsal, eat and then kind of just want to pass out. This process is super tiring…and I was expecting it. But I hate sacrificing time with my friends to take care of my health. Because I shouldn’t have to. But I guess I’m not as invincible as I think I am sometimes.
In happier news – we choreographed my solo today! And it’s adorable…I’m really happy with it. As hard as this past week has been, I am so happy to be here. I feel like this kind of work is totally what I’m meant to do…and I’m so excited to get on the road and share it with everyone.
And to get my annoying, high-pitched voice back.
