Yes, Janice, I answered the phone.
My mother called me at work today. My aunt finally passed away this morning. That shot my concentration, so I went home to be alone for a few hours.
Later tonight was my callback for The 1940's Radio Hour. In a way, I was mentally prepared for this to happen. I sucked it up and gave them my best effort.
No big brain farts this time. In fact, the choreographer told me afterward that I "moved very well." I usually don't get that. I have to admit I was having fun with the dance routine. And I felt like I gave them some strong readings.
You know, I'm beginning to think I might have a shot at this. But they're going to have another round of callbacks in a couple of weeks, so let's see if I make the next cut. No high hopes just yet.
But yeah, first my grandmother and now my aunt. Both long illnesses, much longer than expected, and passing within weeks of each other. I feel like I'm doing okay right now, but I'm pretty sure my brain is scrambled with a side of bacon.
Let's see how tomorrow goes.
