The Final Countdown

So which should come first: good news or bad news?

I never know.... 

How about good? There's a pretty picture that goes with that one.

No this is obvs not me- its some skinnimini skyhigh model...

Remember that time we bonded over recital dresses and which one/what kind I should pick?

Well- that navy beauty (not at all what I had in mind) is the one! 

Kind of like the one when you find the boy and you call your mom and say "Mom. He is the one." 

Anyways, I'm not even CLOSE to that tall, or that straight up and down, and I bought it too big so I could have room to breath....or maybe I bought it too big because it was the only one left and it even took me forever to find a photo online (thats how sold out it is)....RUN ON SENTENCE! 

But anywho- I think its lovely, its super comfy, and I don't have to hold my boobs in when I bow (remember we're talking about a flute recital here!) so this dress is pretty much an all around win!

**Sidenote: now that I look at that photo again, doesn't it look like she was pretty much stretched up? Crazy.

Now the bad news....

My 2nd graduate flute recital is in less than two weeks! (Okaaaay, that's not the bad news)

But I'll make it short- I've have physical problems from playing the flute for a good 6 years now. Tendinitis, mega tension, numbness in my fingers off and on, record breaking muscle knots- you name it! Off and on, its probably happened to me, but that's a different (and not short) story.

As a result of (probably) the lovely day/night bus ride home from tour, ridiculous amounts of stress, and playing the flute A LOT, I started having some crazy bad muscle spasms in my back today. So bad that I ended up crying during our orchestra rehearsal of Beethoven 9. Embarrassing!

So I went to the doctor and got muscle relaxers. Pretty much told him "AHHHH MY GRADUATE FLUTE RECITAL IS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AND IT HUUUUURTS AND I NEED TO PRACTICE AND AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!!" 

Yep, that is about how it went!

This is where you come in, friends!! I took some lovely drugs and am feeling a little bit better, but I need to make it (successfully) to my recital, and your prayers would be greatly appreciated!! I can tell you quite honestly that nothing but the Lord will be able to get me through these next few weeks. AMEN.

Also- it would make my life if you live close enough to Waco to come to my recital! Promise it will be loads of fun and I'd love to hang out with you after! Let me know?

Y'all are the best! Hope you've had a wonderful Wednesday :)
