So I’m off to the ho’ike. I’m not better. Yesterday everything was stuffed in my head. Today it flows. Just what I need while dancing. I had a fever and chills yesterday. Fever isn’t gone, but I’m going anyway. Maybe I will perform, maybe I won’t. I don’t have much of voice, which isn’t good for the kahiko where we chant loudly (yell). By the time I get there, we will have four hours before we actually perform. Should be interesting to see how much kleenex I go through. As it turns out, no one I know will be there to see me. Sleep sounds good. I hardly slept all night because I couldn’t breathe. I slept lightly and woke up every 20 minutes or so. If I do dance, I hope I can keep my brain on track. Illness tends to make my mind wander. When my mind wanders, I forget the dance moves.
