Well, that's that. Hubby is no longer in The Play. As I think people know by now, both me and hubby have been poorly for the last couple of days and today it went for hubby's throat. Meaning that doing lines, shouting and singing just wouldn't be good today. So understandably, hubby called in sick and settled down with some hot beverages and tissues. A short while later, his brother called, telling him (not asking him) to show up. Reason? They couldn't afford more lost time. And of course, the fact that hubby only cancelled once before this and all the other cancellations were from his brother's side of the bargain was obviously not important.

So, hubby shouted and slammed the phone on his brother, who then proceeded to send their mother to get him anyway. After fuming for a while, hubby decided that enough was enough and handed his mother the script along with the message that his brother could call him when he came to his senses.

He called. Said: "Nice working with you, we'll get a replacement." and that was it.

I can't say honestly that I'm really sorry. It's sad that it had to go this way. I hate to see hostility between family members, but for almost all concerned, I think this is the best thing that could have happened.

I can't blame hubby one bit for how he handled this. I would never ever ask him to disregard his health for anything, and I'm disappointed in his brother for doing just that. *sigh* Maybe hubby would like a few members of his family to sod off too right now? Maybe we could send them all to Siberia...
