It has been quite a tragic week for my voice work, as I have had all sorts of allergy symptoms, which have made it very difficult if not impossible to practice.  I am working on the emotional and dietary aspects that have made this the worst allergy season in many years (actually, I didn't notice allergy season the last 2 years).  

I think a big part of the problem is emotional, as after looking at a couple of issues, today I seem much better, although my voice is fried from so much sneezing, coughing and asthma inhaler treatments.  I am feeling hopeful that I will be able to return to practice on Sunday, Monday at the latest.
