I rested pretty much all day Saturday. Sat around drinking orange juice and having several bowls of chicken soup. That evening, some kids that go to my church were playing at a local coffee shop. I cleaned up and went to listen to them. They were only playing 5 songs so it would be a short set. After they finished, I listened to some songs from another band for a few minutes before coming back home. I did get to enjoy a strawberry smoothie while I was out that was a nice departure from the bland soup I’d been having.

Before going to bed, I set up my VCR to record the Italian Grand Prix for me in the morning since I was scheduled to play drums. I finally fell asleep and got some rest.
Woke up this morning still feeling rough. Despite that, I made some breakfast and got ready. There’s really no way for me to cancel playing on such short notice. There’s no real alternative there. Now, if I was barfing all over the place - that’s another story. Even though I felt pretty rotten, I decided to put on my best face, try my best not to “look” sick and just do my thing. I’m glad I did. Had a great time this morning. Had a WHOPPING crowd in the second service! That was exciting and encouraging. Thankfully, I made it through without feeling worse or coughing my head off.

On the way home, got a call from Kyle that they were eating at Big Bob’s for lunch. I almost went on home then decided that I could use some different food for a change. Joined up with them for some good pork BBQ before finally making it home. That was the extent of my adventures for today.

I did find out from others that plenty of people are sick with something right now. Apparently there’s also some kind of stomach bug going around. That’s different that what I’ve got which seems to be more of a head cold with some bits of flu like symptoms. Even JaG over in Europe says all her friends are sick! Sheesh. Hope I’m better soon. This stinks.
