Feb. 27th, 2014 10:36 pmI have a Very Annoying Dilemma on my hands.
Choir concert is a week from Sunday, which means that next week is what I call Rehearsal Week of Doom. Normal weeks we have rehearsals Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-6. Next week we have Tuesday 4-6 and 7-9:30, Thursday 4-6 and 7-9:30, Saturday 9:30-12 and 1:30-4, and Sunday 2-4:30, with the concert that evening.
This is a metric fuckton of rehearsals.
It is, needless to say, really fucking exhausting.
I've done this enough times to know that RWoD wipes me out and I can't really do other stuff, especially if it involves my voice at all. This usually means that I end up skipping out on church that Sunday, a decision cemented in my mind by the fact that that Sunday is when DST begins.
But.
Wednesday is Ash Wednesday -- the service marking the beginning of Lent, which is the liturgical season leading to Holy Week and Easter -- and while it's not the Most Important Service Ever Zomg, I get a lot out of it, and get a lot out of the way it kind of centers me spiritually for Lent.
And it falls, this year, in the middle of RWoD.
I won't be too exhausted yet, because at that point there's only been one additional rehearsal period, but that almost makes it worse. It would be easier if it fell after the concert, so I could judge at the time whether or not I could manage it. But I have to be able to predict whether or not going to Ash Wednesday service will cause spoon-deficit issues for the weekend.
Argh.
