I got the SARS

Sick again … for almost over a week … it started last Friday bad … I ended up going home Saturday night before Steamroller started … Just surviving Sunday night and then Monday I slept all day … Of course I was supposed to be finishing the Out On the Town at this point, I had hardly started … Tuesday was shot for many reasons, and I may return to why later … I went home after The Interns 1st set … I also had a replacement Wed & Thu nights … Wednesday I finally got drugs … I had spoke to Mike about the paper and I was about half way done … I woke up about 3PM Wednesday and went in front of the computers … 2 hours of going through all the accumulated email and telephone calls, the cough syrup was taken about 5PM … a double dose that had me staring into space for 3 hours … The wife told me to lay down and I finally gave up trying to fight it as I was getting absolutely nothing done … About another 2 hours of sleep and when she tried to gove me more cough syrup, I held up the cross … She hissed and I went back downstairs and slowly but surely got through the remaining ads to the paper to finish about 4am Thursday morning … I then slept, took cough syrup, amoxicillun and slept … and slept … I had to go in Friday night so I had Last Man’s guy mix the opener and I did lights … at 2AM I ran out the door … and slept … Got up a little earlier on Saturday night and cleansed myself from head to toe, every nook and cranny … Felt a little okay, but still had a cold … Sweat up a storm setting up the band, Flavor … After their 1st set I felt a little bit better and several people also commented that I looked better … I still couldn’t hear too well being the “cold” was in my head and my right side feels “open” … It’s hard to describe, but that stuffy open feeling you get in your head when you have a cold … Whomever I asked said it sounded okay, so I was confident that it was a passable mix for the evening … While I thought it sounded very LOUD, the meters didn’t show me that it was, so I guessed and got through it … I felt pretty good throughout the evening … but I still have that lingering cold … Hopefully that will trail off …

Stress?

Lot of things all going on at once here … but I realize I haven’t made an update and I am getting sick of looking at the last couple entries … Of course the Out On the Town is looming for this week and this limits my time … My father wants a W2K installation at home as well as a pcAnywhere install at his home and office location … If I want a sound job, I have to “audition” for it, and I am having serious issues with making the audition date/time … I am still working 6 nights a week, and this past Sunday (Aug 1st) I came off of the benefit/W@B Reunion where I worked about 14 hours which shot my Monday … after recovery? I went back to work Tuesday … The launch of The Interns web site had most of them in the booth that night and I don’t know know … It just seems to be one thing after another … bam, bam, bam … getting hit from all sides … and it’s so very hot these last couple days … Where there’s a will, there’s a way … bah!
