Quick, very unscripted life update from me — with a tiny, very distracting sidekick trying to chew my hand the whole time. I’ve got two gigs tomorrow: Parkinson’s during the day, then someone’s house in the evening, and we’re both doing those. I’m looking forward to them, but I’m also being really careful because my voice is the priority right now. I’ve deliberately kept the weekend clear so I can ration my voice and not go too hard, even though that’s tough when you need the money and you’re used to grafting. I’m basically letting how my voice feels be the lesson, because if I’ve got (or recently had) nodes, the best thing I can do is rest it. I’m still trying to stream as much as I can this week, but I’m taking it day by day. On the practical side, I’ve been doing the right things — blood tests, and I’ve got a new asthma thing that might help — and I think I’ve also worked out what went wrong with that Saturday stream, so we’ll see how the next one goes.
