Conflicts

I woke up in a sweat this morning, but no headache.  I don't know if the sweating is related to the healing process.  It's not something I've experienced in quite a while, so perhaps my body is reacting to the stitches or the itching or raw pain.  As the day went on, I felt more pain in my cheekbone, and my cheek area has some bumps on it.  I've been putting Vaseline on the site to keep the wound moist, but that may be causing breakouts.

Two of my new worlds collided today--I had signed up some months ago to teach yoga outdoors at a local waterfront pavillion four times between May and October.  I'm supposed to teach tonight.  But since I signed up to teach, my county has started a new flute choir, which I've signed up for--and the first rehearsal is tonight from 7-9pm.  So I've had this dilemma--do I forego getting paid $60 for one hour of teaching, or miss my first flute choir rehearsal--a program I helped get started, by the way.  I tried to switch yoga teaching days with someone, because the classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  No one was able to switch.  I checked the forecast about 10 days ago and it looked like it was going to rain today.  Last Friday I decided to give the yoga class to someone else, so I wouldn't miss flute choir.  I'm not feeling that perky, with the scar and rawness--teaching seniors I'm familiar with is more comfortable.  The outdoor yoga can have 80+ people attending, and I don't know any of them.

It's pouring right now--if they haven't canceled tonight's class they probably should have.  When I taught in early September, some rain had come through around this time of day, but the weather was beautiful by 7pm.  But if I were teaching tonight, and they hadn't canceled (they make the decision by 4pm), I'd be driving right now with nighttime-looking skies, thunder and rain.  So I don't feel quite as guilty about not teaching and not making some money.

I hope enough people have signed up for flute choir to make it a viable performing group.  I'll find out in a few hours.
