If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

I was able to get into it pretty well, and played well while being able to do a little looking around at the other people, and it kept me more relaxed than having to put so much effort into paying attention to what I was doing the whole time. Unlike a lot of the music, I know these songs really well to begin with, so that's a big load off already.
Hopefully you got enough rest, take care!
I'm glad you were able to relax. That makes s huge difference in performance. I'm sitting outside with one of my charges, while the other keeps am appointment,enjoying the sunshine. Thanks and be well!
