To sing or not to sing?
I have pretty much lost my voice.
This is bad for me at the best of times, because when I can’t sing, I feel down. But this week is especially bad. I’d finally arranged a lesson for tomorrow morning with my singing teacher, who I don’t see nearly often enough, and I have church service gigs on Thursday and Sunday that would have been great fun and not bad pay, in addition to my friend’s wedding on Friday. The church gigs worry me because it’s only a quartet, and if I tell my friend who’s organising that I can’t do it, but then I miraculously recover, I will have caused him unnecessary stress. However if I just wait and see what happens to my throat, I will be very stressed, or I might not be able to make any sound at all which would land him right in it. As it is, I’ve warned him that I’m not up to much, but I think I’m the only sop. he knows who’s not busy at their own church over Easter (not being religious has its plusses). I think I’ll be ok at Sara’s wedding - I can sing in whatever key I like, and if that happens to involve bottom Gs, then so be it.
Off for a nap now, as I was up all night coughing, being anxious, and throwing things, which is never a good idea. Uhhhh feel so useless right now…
D (no xxx because I am probably contageous)
