Last Night Was Crazy

I was assured that if I worked the holding room it would be much easier than last year. It was not. Add to the fact that my voice was affected by the end (?) of my cold, and my voice had no authority. I ended up recruiting two young men to be my voice, one for each room that had contestants. I’m not doing that next year. Both rooms said they had no idea what was going on outside, so at least we kept it fairly quiet, but the stress of possibly ticking my sister off and it going very wrong was too much. Next year, I’m either not doing a Friday night or I’ll judge something.
This morning, which will be much easier on me. I triple checked the rules, and am ready to go. This is much easier because other people will manage the crowds. Last year, it went fine. Once again, I’m judging some relatives, but I don’t let that influence me. I don’t particularly like nepotism, so I wouldn’t do it myself.
I slept pretty well last night. I think Amyra kept me on my toes last night. She was a runner. I love her, and you know I do. However, she was not helpful. I don’t care because it was time with her I got, but I could have used the help. She’ll be competing today. Hopefully, I’ll see her afterwards.
What’s up with you today?

That doesn't sound like much fun. Today I'm home and balancing pain with gardening. After Fred cat naps. He has a tight hold on me right now.

Oh,my. That does sound very stressful. I am glad you found some voices to speak for you. Wish that cold of yours would go away!! And Amyra is at that sometimes painful age that is part child and longing to be an adult, which can make things awkward and difficult at times, but at least she tried. I hope today is smoother and you can come home and rest!!
