A) You spend between five and seven hours a day at Live Arts
B) You forget to eat for an entire day
C) You end up in the hospital due to stress-induced convulsions

For those of us lucky enough to be able to answer “All of the above”? It’s not a good sign.

Yesterday in the middle of dance rehearsal for High School Musical, I started to have chest convulsions, which eventually got to the point where my dad came in and took me to the emergency room. Despite what admittedly started out as a rather scary event (it’s not fun to not have control over your body), I must say I’d always wanted to be wheeled around in a stretcher… If it weren’t for my spasms, flying through the hallways with that cliche, “straight from the movies” view of the ceiling would have been kind of fun…

If this is any indication, it’s probably a very good thing that I have only one week left as producer for the Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call on WNRN. I love the job - but I need the rest time… That, when added on top of rehearsal for High School Musical six days a week, plus production meetings for the sound design, doesn’t leave a lot of time for relaxation…

Also, thanks to everyone that called or texted me, asking if I was okay. That was very nice :).

And just a bit of advice if you ever end up in a hospital bed: avoid letting them pump 2 liters of saline solution into your veins. I won’t tell you why.
