The last few days I have been virtually forced to take it easy due to this weird illness. It just keeps lingering with a sore throat and some coughing. I guess that if I had to get it, this is the time!
Today I feel like a corner is turning. To be honest I am just too weary to revisit the emotional crap of the last few days. So I have been quietly evaluating various directions to go from here. I have this small dry erase board in my studio that I used all the time when brainstorming various things for my "old job" at CCC. Now, it has a list of possible directions to go. Nothing of substance yet. I do know that I need to try and secure at least some kind of part time/temporary employment next week (beyond my current lessons). I hope that things don't go to a 9-5 due to desperation in finances - that would really suck. Wherever God sends me, I will go. Meanwhile, the time off of the last few days has been helpful.
I need to thank EVERYONE who has been supportive during this time. Man, it has been so amazing. Some true friends out here around my life. One prayer is to ensure that the friendships continue forever. Yeah, into that place we call the "next life". :) I can say, and I never thought I would think this, that my blog has been quite therapeutic.
Tonight, health permitting, I plan on returning to the Yellow Box to see Mary in the play. I am not sure what to think of how things might be. I am only interested in seeing the play and then going home. But, surprising things always tend to happen there! Tomorrow, we are going to 11am service at Romeoville as a family. That will be a big deal. Now, I can handle it I think. For a while that is probably where I will stay until, well, I don't know.
On a completely unrelated note (actually 2 unrelated notes):
As I type this in my basement it is amusing to listen to Alec working on songs upstairs with his bass. Know what band's songs he is figuring out today? Van Halen. Go figure.
Last Thursday I had another paid camera gig with my dad at Oak Lawn theatre. They put on what was perhaps the best show I have ever seen/heard over there. It was an older musical called "Thoroughly Modern Millie". Typically when I see these local shows you will almost always get good vocal leads and some decent acting. However, there are always those few who get parts who have the weak vocal lines or are not comfortable in certain acting situations. In this show, every vocalist was nothing short of outstanding. The acting was really, really good - particularly the comedic moments. Since I missed previewing the show the night before due to illness, I had to be careful not to miss the next lines in the show (due to laughing over a comedic moment, for example). During this time, it was great to enjoy such a show.
I'll check in tomorrow and let you know how it all went from tonight and tomorrow morning.
