I was feeling mostly fine (aside from my throat) until last night, and only after I showered. I've had to worry about using as little water as possible to keep my costs down, and so I started taking my showers while still waiting for the water to warm. It feels fine after a hot day or the gym, but... oh, I was shivering. By then my throat hit its worst state, which probably led to an oral temp of over 101. (I think when your throat is that raw it generates its own heat.) Trust me, I slept today, although it didn't feel restful between the sun and the sweating. But the fever broke and I can almost swallow without it being horribly painful.

It amazes me that they did a hen night. I mean, we are talking a slightly different era for the setting, but still. And Beatrice drinking was another brave choice: it had the potential to go very wrong for her, but she's too tough to let things happen easily. Still... I'm sure Benedick would've rather been at her side.

Which was why I'm sure you loved his presence in "Glance of Love" before she could have TOO much to drink. :)

It helps that it's writing aimed at people who've seen the performance. Sadly I didn't have the benefit of rewatching the play. I have to do some meddling to try to be able to do it again. Digital Theatre suggested uninstalling and reinstalling. Grr...

Anyway... Chapter Nine is up!
