Cancel PrayerSong

Sigh. It is with a heavy heavy heart that I have to admit that I am not going to be well enough to sing tomorrow or Monday either. I have just enough voice to manage choir rehearsal this evening, and nothing more. Well I am still keeping desk hours and meetings at work, I am not strong enough to manage a full day even. With everything inside me protesting, I finally call the clinics and bow out.

Even more important than how I feel, I would never put a cancer patient at risk of catching anything - even were I further along I would have to carefully consider whether I am contagious. I know you can't isolate patients from the germs of the world, but you can stay away when you know you are battling something. And so I try to focus on the well being of those for whom we would have been singing, and let go of my disappointment. There will be other days, other songs.

Sigh. Sniffle. Cough, cough, cough.
