Relentless Whining
Still. Sick. Seems like ages now. The sore throat started...when? Yesterday? Dunno. But the sinus thing, that's been constant. And now there's a bit of a cough, too. I'm at T-minus nine days until I have to go into the studio and those of you who know me know how badly I freak out when I think I won't have a singing voice when it's time for me to go and sing. The properly-being-sick part of the cold is generally over and done with - my mind is clear, which is nice - but the symptoms just hang around & hang around, and me being a terrible hypochondriac isn't helping matters any.
Yes this sure is some whining. You'd think I had something besides a cold. The problem is, somewhere along the line I got this idea in my head that colds only last for a couple of days, so every time one hangs around a couple of days longer than that, I get really mindlessly angry about it. This is a waste of energy I know. But what the hell: we've all got our neuroses, right? (everybody say "right" - thanks) Mine is stressing about my health all out of proportion to how serious the matter is. Like, I haven't tried, but I'm guessing that if I had to record tonight, I could make a decent run at it.
Ideas for the book (about which I will talk more only if/when this journal goes friends-only) coming fast and furious, if I actually get to do this one I don't know that I'll have any of my childhood goals left! Except marrying Judy Garland, which isn't going to happen, and, you know, thank God.
