So I've been taking a break from the exercising to rest my body... but I think I took too much of a break, because cloths are starting to fit just a little better (oy!). Today I was suppose to meet with Nick (my trainer), but he texted me in the morning saying he forgot he couldn't.... which in the end, turned out to be PERFECT for me because I needed to practice majorly for a rehearsal later that day. I'll continue on that story in a bit. So anyway... I'm sssoooooo ready to start exercising. I need to get out and move around! My life has become nothing but sitting.. and I want it to be nothing but moving! We were made to move.. so let's move! I'm actually a little frustrated.. cause that time was for my body to rest and heal... which I was doing for sure. Got in some GREAT rest.. no stress, plenty of sleep... But I'm pretty sure my platelets haven't budged. UGH! Is there no end to this madness!??!?! Maybe getting in shape will help.... if anything, I'll look (and feel) way better... and it'll be easier to check my liver and spleen. *If there was an 'eye roll' face.. I'd insert it here*
So on that other note:
Monday I got a call from someone... who needed a pianist for something on Saturday, with a rehearsal at some point on Friday. And I said I'd do it... and yes.. it was that vague. Okay..well.. maybe not THAT vague.. but that's as much info as I could get over the phone due to the fact that I was having a hell of a time understanding the women (just a bad reception). I gave her my email and asked for her to email me the music along with the details of the gig.
Well she finally calls me Thursday, apologizing that she hadn't emailed me yet and said she would do it as soon as we hung up. And she also informed me the rehearsal was at two.
Feeling a little silly, I quickly asked, "Where is this again?" I figured I had better find out before we hang up.
She kind of paused, clearly thinking that that was a really silly question..cause she had already told me at some point in all of this. "Rudolph Center College" is what I heard.
Me, "Oh.. ookkaay." (I quickly google that as I'm talking with her, having NO idea where or what that was). Turns out it's Rudolf Steiner College.. which is RIGHT next to Waldorf... and apparently it's the place to go if you want to teach at Waldorf.
So we hang up, and I STILL don't know what I'm doing exactly. I just know I'm playing two pieces by Debussy (and at this point, I'm thinking I'm accompanying a choir).
Well I wake up this morning and print out the music.... and find it's just straight up piano music. Reverie, and Voiles... both I've heard, but never played. Needless to say, I printed them out straight away and then proceeded to practice. AND while I was printing, I figured out that I was playing for an Eurythmy performance! AH! Finally! Light has been shed! At least I know what I'm doing.
The rehearsal went fairly well.. considering I was practically sight reading (OY! NOT easy pieces to sight read.. especially Voiles). But it was WAY WAY WAY cooler than the 6th grade class at Waldorf. These were all college age folk, and wearing beautiful, colorful flowing gowns.
Thankfully I have more time to practice (I already have.... now to sleep and let it soak in)
So there you have it. Frustrated about my stupid platelets, need to get outside and MOVE, and happy that I'm getting paid to learn some beautiful Debussy pieces.
(And Zoe has become a nigh owl and LOVES to hang out outside at night.... This sentence is prompted by the faint sounds of my father calling "Zoooeeee.. kitty kitty kitty!" and making tusking sounds.)
