Sick, Again

I am going to live in a bubble from now on. This is the second time in two weeks that I am sick, but at least I can get out of bed this time.

There is a strange virus going around the workplace. It started hitting people three days before Christmas. It hit me on Tuesday.
It started with an innocent runny nose and sneezing, so I thought it was nothing but a silly cold. I planned on doing some mixing Tuesday night, but all of a sudden, I felt terrible a few hours after I got home from work. I took a hot bath, watched "House, M.D," drank a hot toddy and passed out around 9:30pm. I woke up around 1am and my throat was on fire. I went to work anyway on Wednesday and the band had to gig Wednesday night. It was hard to get through the gig and be energetic when I felt so bad, but at least my voice held out. It just has to hold out for three hours tonight, three hours Friday, and six hours Saturday. C'mon, sympathy!
I can't even call in sick to work if I wanted to. My manager is out until Tuesday and so is her manager, which leaves me. Do year hear the violins playing in the distance? I think they are playing "Tapps." I pray that God will give me a voice to sing when I need it. He has never let me down, I am happy to say.
At least I can get out of bed.
