Sick and Tired
...of being sick and tired. Bah. I have yet another cold. I get one about every 3 months. Matt said when I first mentioned my scratchy throat, "Where would you have gotten a cold, honey? It's the middle of summer!" To which I replied, "I work in a hospital, and I see about 3 pneumonia patients a week." One of my co-workers said to me this morning that I must be allergic to my job.
I've always been the one to get sick alot. My brother was only out sick a few days his whole school career. I'd be out a few days a year with nastiness. Probably get it from my Grandpa - he was sickly as a child, but to a more severe degree.
I was planning on calling Fine Arts today to make my appointment to audition for "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change", but I'm nervous to go for a bunch of reasons. "Kiss Me Kate" brought into more significant relief the fact that I don't audition well. So even though I'd be auditioning for Fabio, who I know well, I'm nervous. And even more so now that I'm sick and can't sing to practice. And as much as I've loved performing in the past, I've come to love having my evenings to myself. I get to spend time with friends, get some exercise, cook, watch TV, curl up on my couch, go to bed at 10:30 and pass out around 11. So I just don't know. I'm still thinking about it. I'll decide more concretely on Monday.
Matt thinks I should do it, because I don't seem to know what to do with myself these days. Which is kinda true. He said at dinner last night, either to audition and do a show, or take an aerobics class. Which is also a possibility. I dunno. I think of taking dance, too, because I'm so awkward in my own body sometimes, but most places don't offer beginner's jazz for adults. I'll think about taking a look at the course catalogue for a local community college, see how much it is, and what they're offering.
Anyway, those are my thoughts for today. Now I need to accomplish something at work. Happy Friday to all!

Yes, audition! ILYYPNC is a fun show. It only has a 4-person cast, so maybe you wouldn't need as many rehearsals?
I feel the same about free time. My last show ended in May of 2004, then I went on hiatus, then I had cancer. I'm not exactly itching to get back into theatre, but if a show that I like comes along, I'd do it. But I have to remind myself that the whole reason I went on hiatus in the first place was so I could focus on developing my comic strip. And you can see how far I've come with that (snort).
Permit me to knock on wood here, but I haven't had a cold in a long time... at least 6 months ago. I don't even remember. Just my usual summer allergies every morning. Normally I get colds at any and all times of the year, but especially the last week of August (I always had a cold on the first day of school, and this trend still continues even though I'm no longer in school).
If you're still early in the cold, try Zicam cold relief. That seemed to work well for me, so long as you follow the directions and actually use it every 4 hours. Other than that, plenty of rest is my only other remedy.
