Tuesday's musings:

I had trouble staying awake when I supposed to be awake today. The jetlag is wearing off...I don't think I helped myself by staying up until 4 and 5am over the weekend....I sat down in a chair off stage today to wait for a cue and basically fell asleep....I came home from rehearsal and wanted to muscle through and not nap, but alas-I gave in and napped. I also think I didn't start the morning off well-I hit snooze until God knows when and then my breakfast never got delivered....so I went to rehearsal on an empty stomach-which translates to an empty mind...no fuel and all :) But I made it through rehearsal...(listen to me-I sound like I'm doing brain surgery)

I talked to the people at the front desk and I am now getting eggs and cheese for breakfast-no more pastries and nutella...literally my whole breakfast tray was sweet baked goods. You kidding me?! I simply cannot eat like that-and frankly wanna know how they all keep their figures over here....but the lady was SO nice and switched me to proteins....and coffee. :)

Tomorrow I meet with the conductor who is conducting all the shows I'm singing....he conducted Beatrice et Benedict at COT back in 2007. I'm excited to meet him. I really am loving my cast-I hope to take some pics tomorrow and post them. We made it all the way through Act I today.....on to Act II tomorrow....I love that it take Wagner 18 million hours to say like 3 sentences....:)))

Looks like I'm gonna make it home for the recital....air space has been reopened...hope you all are having a great week!!!

Love~
