I've got that kind of cold...
the one that your body chases
around and around

Ugh, that's a tough balance. I would have been teetering back and forth too. Because canceling last minute on something that you perceive as very valuable is a difficult call to make. Speaking of calls, couldn't you have suggested a...phone call? Or Zoom/Teams? In-person is better, but maybe a less-ideal alternative (but more ideal than canceling) would be a call.

Unless not feasible!
I hope you begin to feel better after some DAYS(!!!) of rest. Don't rush it!

Our meeting was a two-parter which included a tour of their facilities (oh my they have a nice studio!!) before the talk.

I just forgot to try *talking* before our talk... I didn't notice I hadn't talked all day and maybe that was related to my lack of coughing that day.. which tricked me into thinking like, "Oh, I'm totally 80%! I can have A MEETING! I'll wear a mask! It will be FIIIIINE!"

Famous last words.

But I won't forget to offer a call or zoom when I am prevaricating again. Honestly.. it didn't even cross my mind. Thank you!

I've never heard or read the word (that I recall): prevaricating. I love it!

It's like "vacillating" but easier to spell!

I'm just finally getting over the East Coast version of this, but it's much easier for me because I am retired. It's a hard call to make, you waited so long...

Please take care of yourself. And FWIW, Gypsy Cold Care (now known as the more politically correct Herbal Care) Tea has helped a good deal. You probably already know that.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Gypsy Cold Care and their lemon-echinacea Immune Zoom!

Drink it by the buckets when I'm sick... alternating it with raspberry Emergen-C packets.

Thanks for sharing because everyone should know about that tea, it's amazing.

A witchy friend of mine told me about it. Even my FATHER loved it, he used to always drink a cup at night whether he had a cold or not.

I hope you are feeling a bit better.

[geminiwench]

Thank you.

Maybe that's what I need to do... just a cup every night no matter!

Another artist’s conception of an infection haranguing its host (and probably of the way you’ve been sounding):

How come NO ONE TOLD ME this is what kiwis sound like?!
It's so MAD at that beam of light!

To me this kiwi is my inner soul whenever I have that, "DON'T LOOK AT ME!!!" feeling.

you had me cracking up, laugh out loud, eyes watering, omg you are HILARIOUS. I don't like the gifs from anyone but you. You are a master!

Get well soon!!!!

[geminiwench]

Glad to be of service!!

I feel I am an excellent storyteller when it comes to recounting my own humiliations!
It's something I feel I have in common with Allie Brosh.
