Full of Valour

tee: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Enerjewels gifted earrings, Relic watch
Well, I only worked 3.5 hours because well, what good is a barista with no voice (or who isn't willing to use it and possibly blow it out at work)? I apologized profusely and did as much as I could for Kayla, but  I think I just need sleep and vocal rest.  Two things I obviously cannot get during the SB opening shift.

I came home and slept a good two more hours and have now eaten (wondering about energy levels leading to vocal pushing as well), inhaled massive amounts of miracle tea, honey and apple cider vinegar and have plans with a suuuuuuuper hot shower and salt water gargle in a bit.  The thing is that I do NOT feel sick.  I just feel tired.  And I think opening shifts + opening weeks = BAD. I need to remember this for the future and make sure I get enough time to rest my chords each night before heading into work the next day.

Also, warming up would probably be a good idea. Although I have been warming up physically, I have completely neglected my vocal warm-ups and in the parks and singing... Bad actor, bad actor...

I have my massage in a bit and then I am gonna head to lower woodlawn early to sorta allow myself time for a vocal check in.  Also, so much for the 85 degree weather of yesterday.  It started raining right as I left work this morning. Planning for a wet (final) rehearsal... Need to find my umbrella.

Oh and PS, we OPEN tomorrow!  YESH!
