It was a good day. I didn't cheat on my diet but truthfully I didn't eat hardly at all because I was so anxious about the television show. That's not good either. No excuses. I just couldn't.... Maybe that's the answer! I should be a performer. ;-)
I got off at noon, came home and rehearsed the story several times, checking my time using my egg timer from the kitchen. I was given 5-7 minutes. I came in just under six so I figured that it would give me leeway if I talked to fast or talked too slow. I was covered!
The show went well. We performed live out of Mount Sinai Hospital Kravis Children's Center. The studio is located right there! 'Kid's Zone TV' it's called. The kids called in from their rooms to ask questions- it was so cute! I enjoyed myself so much. The show will air on PBS/BET channels. I will let you know when if I find out. I also am supposed to get a tape of the show. It's been such an experience.
A sad thing happened just before we aired though. A beer can-empty was found in the bathroom we were using. No one claimed it but to tell you the truth- no one there for the show smelled like beer. Everyone hugged me goodbye. I would've smelled it! I hate beer. I'd wager that one of the realatives brought it in. They nearly cancelled the show. It's a children's hospital for Pete's sake! At the last minute- just when all of the performer's stress peaked, they decided to go forward. I guess that I did alright because I was asked to return. The Producer took my name and cell and gave me her card. I felt pretty good about that. I'm so very tired though.
I'm going to sign off here and go crawl under a blanket. See you next Blog! ;-)
