Sleep it Off

I just completed 48 hours of feeling crappy.  I can't remember the last time I slept so much in a two day period.  I can remember the last time I felt this sick because I was in Dayton Ohio at the National Championships and (after winning) my sons sat in the emergency room with me for hours.  How about that shameless plug?  Sometimes you just gotta say it, "remember when we won the whole shebang?  Yeah, that was awesome . . . except for the going to the hospital part." 

Well, I'll admit this bout isn't quite as intense, but I'd like to think it's because I was wise enough to stay home instead of making a 10 hour round trip to a rehearsal this weekend.  It was hard to to stay home, but I'm already feeling better, writing on my blog and watching the academy awards. 

The longer view helps with these kinds of decisions. I can still override the obvious, but experience informs relativity and tends to wise up judgment.  I'm glad to be on the mend and ready for the week ahead which includes three performances and a visit from my mom.
