Okay! So the antibiotics are working, and I’m standing up without a fever! Whoohoo!
I did go to rehearsal last night – the actors and stage managers were great, and I mostly directed from the fourth row. We got out a bit early, but we accomplished everything we needed to so we’re back on track. It was definitely a good choice to NOT have rehearsal on Tuesday though!
Now, if I can get rid of my cough and raw throat I’ll be back in business. I think those will take a few more days, but I can at least function again. (I did have one moment last night where the actors made me laugh so hard – it’s a comedy, you know – that I started coughing and laughing and thought I was going to black out. That was fun! They’ll never admit it, but I think while one stage manager was running at me with cough drops the other was dialing 9-1 on her phone and watching with her finger poised over the final 1 to see how the whole thing played out!)
