Today was another awful allergy day. I'm having a really hard time functioning let alone singing every day lately. I know it's a bit dramatic, but I really do feel god awful. I wish it would just go away, but thanks to a long wet winter, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

My day today started off with a nice brunch at the Peanut Butter Co shop downtown where I had an amazing sandwich. I then tried to start really working on finding a new apartment. This has already proved to be a very trying task and I'm frustrated beyond belief. Prices in New York have gone up 34% in the last 3 months and they are still looking to raise prices. I can't even find a decent studio in a decent area for less than $1200 a month. It's killing me. Anyway, while trying to calm down from apt hunting I made my way to Ripley Grier where I had rehearsal/class with Hip Hop Heals Most Deafinitely again. We do this every Tuesday 5:30-7:00pm. I had not been a part of it for a while, but I'm actually very glad I got back into it regardless of the challenge or not. I think i may go back to school for my ASL certificates and such. That's another story.

This week we worked on their performing for one routine. It was clean, but the energy and performance aspects were lacking. So we discussed with the kids how to make it bigger and how a performer has to put their own energy and attitude into the piece. They will be showing the piece they worked on today during the last 10 minuts of Jamie Jackson's class at BDC this Sunday the 15th. I am really excited for them.

My singing today was the same as yesterday. It's becoming very much a routine. I know that is sort of the plan, but I want to work more and more every day and not have just the basic vocalizations. I need a push. Still looking for my C4. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I'm all ears. Much love.
