One show down! 5 more to go!

Hey look! I finally have some time to blog! Whoo!
Yesterday was opening night for How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (man that's a long title). It went surprisingly well! A few technical issues cropped up, but all around, everyone did a great job. The kids really stepped it up a notch (I think having the audience helped). I know I was DEAD TIRED... but somehow managed to summon up a hidden store of energy and used it. It's a three hour show.. so we finished around 10:00pm... and I went promptly to bed as soon as I got home. Tonight starts at 8... so we wont' finish till 11. Oy.

So! Waldorf!...
I'm playing piano for the Eurhythmy class... only Tuesdays and Thursdays, which is the 6th grade class.. and it's the last period of the day. Yikes. The kids are incredibly swirly, and the teacher only halfway keeps order in the room. My job is beyond easy.. I just sit at the piano and site read classical music... and apparently, it doesn't really change. So now I'm not even site reading anymore. Soooooo easy it's not really fun, just boring. The only way I can make it interesting is to be as musical as I possibly can. No one notices, but that's not the point.. it's for me. :)
At the beginning of the class, they pass out copper rods and do a little routine with them (passing them to each other, spinning them, dropping them behind their backs and catching them, twirling them while moving in the circle).. I'm sure it looks cool, but I'm reading music.. so I can't really see. The major issue however, is that these are COPPER rods.. and these are 6th graders. You can only imagine the daring sword fights and 1920's mobster the spontaneously immerge from the boys as soon as they get a hold of the rods. Heheh. It's cute.

I just got a call from the doctors office.. Platelets are 21, which shocked me. By the way I’ve been bleeding.. or rather.. the lack there of, I would have put money down that my count was in the 40’s. Curious. But I had just taken a second round, so it could have been dipping…. I’ve got an extra CBC order here at home, and will use it in a few weeks before I see my hematologist. But at any rate, things are going well.. As soon as I get my energy back, I’ll get a trainer at the gym and really start working out… but until then, I’ll just relax. So with that said.. I'm going to use this rare free time to rest. More later....
