Finally Friday. Play rehearsal tonight...4 hours worth. Act 1 went really well...I was quite pleased. Act II...well, I have parts of it down and other parts are not so red hot.
Memory frustrates me. I should know all of my lines really well by this point. I've never really had difficulty committing lines to memory until MS. I realize that it could be age as well, but I think much of it is MS related.
I am so afraid of letting everyone down. I don't know what else I can do. I have practiced my heart out...I can't just 'command' memory to function like it used to.
This, too, shall pass. I just realized that I'm in a negative mode. I need to do a 180 and grab on to the positive. The negative will just pull me further down.
I am so glad tomorrow is Saturday! The play opens in 5 days with dress rehearsal in 3 days. I can do this! I will do this! (Hmmm...I sound like the train in the children's book, THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD!).
