OK, since before the dress rehearsal, I have been battling the onset of a cold, and today I could hold it off no longer. Its not the horrible terrible very bad flu bug going around. Just my usual spring post nasal drip stuff. But I am wise enough to realize that taking a day off now when I am not committed to a million responsibilities may ward off anything more serious, especially in light of how many of my friends and colleagues have been hit with difficult illnesses this year.
So I do. I take a - gasp - whole day off to rest. I am tired, probably from all the recital activities. No harm in resting. I laze around the house, drink lots of fluids, gobble down Vitamin C, and watch silly movies. Sugar is delighted to have all day company for a change. She snuggles in the chair with me, her body heat keeping me warm and toasty.
Despite snoozing all day, I go to bed early (8 pm) and sleep soundly. Perhaps it will be enough to throw off the coughing fits and help me stay healthy. We shall see.

Glad you were finally able to take a day to rest. Hope you have recovered! Next time I'm feeling under the weather, I will draw inspiration from your refusal to let sickness or fatigue get the upper hand.
