Yesterday was one of those can we please forget about this one days...
It started with a job interview that went pretty well but also left me with that nagging feeling that someone else was already on the top of the list and my interview was just for show. I suppose one has to be eager and the feedback is really going to help me in future interviews, but this kind of procedure still leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth.
After work I went to see my speech therapist and had a fight with my vocal chords while I struggled through Easy to be Hard (from the musical Hair). Had to sing it in nasal sounds rather than words and whenever I have to do something like that I always have issues with the melody/rhythm. The voice is getting a lot better though. Recovery time after rehearsals has gone from five days to a mere night-and-a-bit so that's a grand improvement in itself.
When I got home I made pasta with fresh tomatoes from my balcony crop with *shudder* garlic powder. All our fresh garlic had turned into a mass of papery skin and dry and wrinkled cloves so that was definitely not an option.
After dinner I wanted to clean out Der Maus's cage. That morning, when I left for work, the little guy had been happily munching a sunflower seed. Sadly however, he must have passed away later that day or after I came home. And quietly too, because I didn't notice anything strange and actually thought he was sleeping... :( I will bury the little guy in one of the huge planters on my balcony.
Strangely enough, finding Der Maus like that made me feel that all other things that had happened that day are perhaps not quite worth the frustration that I felt over them...
*sigh*
Hopefully the rest of the week will bring better days than this one :)
Love,
Nine
