RLP, your advice is, of course, excellent. I cannot take it, alas, because I have to attend a rehearsal tonight with Alet and Andy Taylor - can't reschedule it. And, Cason is coming over any minute to deal with fundraiser issues, and then we have a production meeting that will last right up until rehearsal. After rehearsal, I'll try to breathe.
I have felt this drowning feeling since returning home from NY and one horrid thing after another to deal with, not just with the fundraiser. I rarely feel like I'm drowning, but boy do I feel it now.
