@Ticomaya,
it was the only way to finish.
my back was done. as soon as I stopped moving, rehab had to commence.
by staying over, I was done with my portion.
everyone else was back at 10 am to hang drops, and finish off the set.
it was my call, based on the circumstances.
the set is firkin beautiful. all black, white, and blued steel...
other than cancelling an obligation at the casino, it won't hurt my finances.
as soon as I can go again (monday I hope) restoration work can begin again at the O.
losing out on American Idol down south isn't the end of the world...
I called my little ex, L, to bring me some groceries and medical supplies (including a backbrace and tiger balm). and told her that my costume designer wasn't gonna work into a girlfriend scenario.
she was happy to help out, and not displeased as to the other news...
