I almost always practice in the evenings, just after dinner. I think if you try practicing then, instead of trying to do it when you've just made it through the door and crashed on the sofa, you just might have the energy!
Me, I've been goofing o-, I mean, taking a break from singing for most of last month. I HAVE to work full time; it's hellaciously expensive to live in sunny Sunnyvale! Now I have a couple of auditions to prepare for. Found that the only way to get those prepared properly is good old fashioned woodshedding: working the pieces for technique AND words and music. Church job starts at the end of September. Be glad to see everyone again and have the extra $$$.
Some can live for music and music alone. Me, I have to have a variety of activities to keep me out of the booby hatch: the "real job," cooking, reading, "West Wing" and "Law and Order", and looking after His Majesty.
