Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Yesterday I started the day with a cold. Zinc, fluids, and a lot of garlic seem to have helped -- I stopped sneezing by the time I got to our gig, and didn't fall over (though playing bass recorder for a while with a cold produces a hefty dose of dizzy). Today I woke not sneezy but dehydrated and wicked headachy. Not sure whether I'll get to 3LF tonight or not (and this week it's much more important that I get to HCB rehearsal tomorrow -- doing both would be ideal, but if I think tonight will reduce my odds of making it out the door tomorrow, I'll punt). Let's see how much the magic concoctions (well, decoctions -- basil/lavender tea, and a suspension of cocoa powder) do against this level of headache. If I don't make it to 3LF tonight, I should be there next week.

The gig went well, despite maugorn's absence due to injury -- I spent a lot more time on guitar than I otherwise would have. A bunch of the tunes weren't in our repertoire, so we were sight reading, and I thus discovered a couple of nifty, new-to-me tunes. But one tune really cried out for an electric guitar. Fortunately I got to bring home some sheet music.

I'd better go disinfect the bass recorder in case I do get to rehearsal tonight --if yesterday's cold really is gone already, re-infecting myself would be un-good.
