Sick..More So Than Before!
March 07, 2006 | 2:19 P.M.

So I am more ill..again. I felt REALLY horrible when I woke up but I don't feel quite so much like shit right now. Aside from taking the puppy out to the dogpark for an hour or so so that his room can be cleaned I plan on resting for the most part the rest of the day/evening/night to try to get better. My work schedule is fairly conducive to my getting some rest aside from having to walk in the cold to get there and back. But I work in the box office tomorrow morning from 11:30am til 5:30pm so I get to sit my whole shift and then I can come home and rest as I do not work until 4pm on Thursday. Now this is another long standing shift like last night's but hopefully the rest I will get up until then will get me closer to healthy enough that I won't mind so much. And while I have to work until midnight and won't get home until about 12:30am, I don't work until 5pm on Friday. Luckily the Friday shift is only 5pm til 10pm plus the fact that Chad should be coming down to hang out as a pre-show party of sorts and then the amazingness of Saturday with our HUGE show and all....it'll help me get through Friday. And hopefully this will get me near 100% for Saturday.

The way that I feel at the moment I think I would be able to perform just fine but I want to be in high enough spirits to entertain all of those that come out to support us (which should be a good number of people) before and after our set. We want to be good hosts and make their time enjoyable! Meet all of the guests that the other band members got to come out. It will be so much easier if I am feeling up to par.

A good friend of mine that I really wanted to attend can't because she has to work from 5pm until midnight. A friend at work that I owe a free show of ours for covering for me that time so I could go see Sevendust with Chad (and I owe her extra for getting to meet them and getting their autographs! hah) but alas she has to work at the theater until midnight as well. Another friend of mine is a chef at a place across the street from the venue where we are playing. And she knows that she has to work but she is going to atleast try to take her "lunch" at the time we'll play which would allow her to see all of it if she plans correctly because our set is only 45 minutes and her lunch is an hour. Rob is going to have to work so he can't make it but yesterday my mom told me that she still plans to make it as long as she feels well enough. She isn't currently sick but she can be prone to getting sick and she's like me in that she doesn't want to promise a 100% guarantee that she will be there because she could possibly get sick. But I really hope she can make it out. But we should still have a lot of very close friends coming out and hopefully we'll make more that night..and give everyone an excellent time.

After all of that happiness I must report that I'd received some quite discouraging news in the mail yesterday but I feel horrible enough without getting into that specifically right now plus I want to lay down for a little while longer and eat some chicken soup before I have to take Mowgli out to the park. But I will discuss this in-full next time.

Until then..stay healthy and happy!
