Really Tough Day!

I'll have to back through my blog to see if this has happened before, but I had the most random HORRIBLE band day today. I'm going to back up to last night, just to tell a fun story before the grossness begins! ;-)


My mom is kind of a big deal. ;-) She is a professional opera singer, did a lot of work in Arizona and the West while I grew up out there. She did a lot of performing here in New York, but has focused a mostly on teaching for the past ten years. Anyway, throughout her performing/teaching life, she has had the pleasure of meeting some pretty great people. One of them is a makeup director for the Broadway show Promises Promises. Mom's in town, so we went to see it last night. 4th row center, backstage tour (I've never been onstage at a Broadway theater before). While we were on the stage, Sean (Hayes...Jack from Will and Grace and the star of the show) walked by. Carmel (mom's friend) is his hairdresser/makeup artist. Sean introduced himself to me, we chatted for about three minutes, he was absolutely 100% a doll. Such a fun night! Prior to that, I'd taken mom to dinner at Blue Fin (yummy NYC fish place). Band was fine, I drank a lot, ate yummy food (1 piece of shrimp, halibut and had 1/2 a bite of her sushi - first time I tried rice) all was good and fine with the band.


Imagine my surprise when I head to CT this morning to see best friend Liz and her new baby (my niece Harper) for lunch. Mom hadn't had the chance to meet Harper, so it was the perfect opportunity before she leaves tomorrow. We went to a great organic bakery/bread place. I've been there many times before - they have amazing lemon tarts. I typically opt for the yogurt and granola parfait. I also ordered a glass of pinot grigio. Took three sips, slimed it all up in the bathroom. Mind you I hadn't even eaten anything, it was 1pm. What's up? I don't have my (.), I haven't slimed in about two weeks so my band wasn't irritated. Huh? So my yogurt and granola show up, I take two bites, throw up in the bathroom (or I should say slime in the bathroom). We decide to walk a bit, went to Ann Taylor, mom bought me a great new dress (green, tank, pockets!) We got in the car and headed to get massages, yummy! Felt great, no longer felt ill. Started to drive back into the city around 3:30, mom suggested I try some of the yogurt again - I had three bites of yogurt, an iced coffee and three sips of wine all day, so I tried. So much mucus after three bites, that I had to pull over and throw up. Seriously almost puked in the car in front of my mom. RIDICULOUS. Proceeded to slime some more once I got home. Still don't get why I was so tight, my fill was four weeks ago. Regardless, I got some chicken noodle soup, and believe the warmth helped. Feeling much better now, able to eat some nuts in addition to the soup. Hoping that tomorrow when I wake up, all will be normal again. So strange this band. Seriously has such an attitude some days!!
