Can we all just say a quick prayer for a few things?

1. That I have a breakthrough in the Schubert art song I'm working on (Gretchen am Spinnrade).  I have my part down at tempo and I can practice it til the cows come home by myself but collaborating with my singer is another issue entirely.  For some reason, we are not clicking.  I just want to feel good about this audition when it's all over and we're not quite there yet and it doesn't just drive me bananas, it makes me feel like a bad pianist... what am I doing wrong / not hearing / not putting together correctly??  We go see my teacher on Saturday.  There's seven other songs in addition to this one that I have to play, but this is the one bothering me most.
2. That the ginormous canker sore inside my mouth heals up.  It might as well be the size of Rhode Island.  I get them when I'm stressed but this one is bad.  I can't chew with the left side of my mouth and my teeth hurt in sympathy for it.  Can we say ridiculous?  Yes please.
3.  That it is never again 90 degrees in St. Louis on April 2.  That was horrendous...
4.  Lastly, and absolutely not least for my sister who had to go to the ER this morning after having severe abdominal pain for four days.  A cyst on her ovary burst and the blood went through the intestinal tract.  The stomach also developed a pouch of fluid on it in response to the bursting.  Ouchie mama.  Poor girl.  Thank God Will was there to take care of her.  That boy is awesome.  I'm going to see her/them as soon as I get done here...

... which is now.
