I hate to even admit it 😩 I got sick yesterday. I was feeling fine all morning, went to physio, and then felt a bit nauseous upon returning home. I wrote it off because I realized I had forgotten to eat lunch before I left for Saskatoon, and thought I was just hungry. I ate some crackers and drank water, but my nausea didn’t go away. Then I started to feel it lift a little in my body and knew I was in for it. I went upstairs and Brady ran me a bath. I sat in it while I waited out the foreboding doom. It came on, as expected. My body ached SO bad after that, oh man!!! How dare I be sick the day before an event I was very committed to!
So I loaded up on meds and hit the sack. My stomach stayed settled all night, but I struggled to sleep because my back and neck hurt SO badly. I lay flat on my back and cringed all night. Brady had cancelled his work for today, for my sake, and thank goodness it was one of his more flexible jobs where he could just go when it suits him. He let me sleep in, and brought me more medication, for my stomach and my head.
I spent the morning in the bathtub and in bed. Brady brought me a heated rice pack to try and shake the pain that was right at the base of my skull, and as my pain was relieved, I dozed off to sleep.
THREE HOURS LATER, I woke up in a panic! I had so much to do before our gig at Clearcut! Ack! I got up and ate some lunch, and then had yet another bath, for muscles and also cleanliness. I did my hair and minimal makeup. Cher had been studying in the basement for most of the day, and she came up and re-shaved the side of my hair. My poor hair is SO neglected, and has been looking pretty haggard. But it finally came together, and we ended up rushing out the door really last minute to get to our gig on time.
I’ll tell you all about Clearcut tomorrow, but it went well. I feel healthy again, just sore in the neck and body still. I think I’ll take a drowsy gravol or something tonight, to combat possible leftover illness and also make sure I sleep after my enormous nap. Guys, I never ever nap. Not even when I have a newborn baby. I wasn’t built to nap. But today, no regrets. It was excellent.
Sorry for the late post! Talk tomorrow, friends!
