I am a little hungover this morning as well as functioning on 4 hours of sleep, but for a good reason. What kind of reason would send me drinking on Thursday night especially given how good I have been lately you ask? The only valid one - a death. Yesterday during my afternoon class break I received an email, my director's brother died. The same one who 3 years ago I went down and saw in a nursing home. The same one who had the stroke, the brain damage, etc. He died of cardiac arrest yesterday at 48 years old. Needless to say I was thrown off for the remainder of my class. We went over to there house around 8 last night with flowers, cookies, cake, card, and vodka. All the tools needed to grieve properly. There was no way we were letting her be alone last night. There were about six of us over at the house staying by her side until she was doing okay. We ended up leaving at around 11:30. So that was my afternoon/evening. I am proud of B for also going with me since her allergies are still kicking her ass. We have decided (okay she decided) that what she has is not a head cold but allergies because of the sneezing she is doing. She was seriously messed up yesterday unable to breath or function. The fact that she was able to make it as late as she did last night made me real happy. She knew it was one of those important nights where personal pain was trumped by dead brother. Same thing goes for sleep. I know I am going to pay for this today but it was important. That was yesterday. Teaching, death, drinking, grieving. And now thank the lord, it's Friday. Get through this class and then a show, then off to the grand state of OK! Whee.
