Beauty & the Bronchitis

Rehearsals for Beauty & the Beast are... Going. They're pretty tedious because even while I'm he lead, I feel like I don't really do anything. Mostly I stand onstage while the ensemble move around me. 

Ah, well. Things will probably pick up soon enough, though. 

The other day at rehearsal, my voice was completely shot. I went to the doctor and after two hours of poking and prodding, they diagnosed me with viral bronchitis. The doctor says this is going to stick around for about 4 weeks. Crap. 

I feel like a super nerd because I have to wear this dorky blue surgical mask, and carry around an inhaler and nasal spray everywhere with me. Yuck yuck. 

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to sing let alone dance, where I can't even make it up the stairs without hacking. 

Ah well. I'll get better before the show goes on (hopefully). And everything will be ok.
