I gave blood last night (got my two gallon mug)! Somehow I manage to forget how unpleasant giving blood makes me feel the next day -- or maybe I fool myself into thinking that there's something new I can try to prevent it. It never works, though.

I had planned to work a couple of hours today and then take the rest of the day off to nap and otherwise recover, but it turns out that everyone else in my department has the flu, so that's not such a good idea. Oh, well. I should feel better tomorrow.

The question is, will I cancel music practice tonight, and if I don't will I go to Trinity Brewhouse to see the Last Minute Blues Band afterwards? Arguably I should skip both, but I feel like if I can't skip work then I shouldn't skip the things I really enjoy, either, even if I'm not well enough to enjoy them. (That's logic, that is.)

Drink lots of water and make sure to take vitamins. You'll be back up to speed soon. Many hugs.

Thanks!

Next time, don't try to give all two gallons at once, Jake. Sheesh. How many times do I have to tell you? Also, I understand that the soup at Thai Orchid had healing properties...

Logic!

If you have to work when you're trying to skip work, then it doesn't make sense to go do other things if that's just going to be work TOO. Personally, I'd cancel rehearsal but plan to go to the Brewhouse if you felt OK by then.

It would be a stupid plan, though,

I guess, if I made that plan now.

This was all last night, so. Actually, I got to leave work an hour early, which meant I got to take a 2 1/2 hour nap, which mean that I was in decent if not top shape for the evening's activities (although I didn't stay at Trinity Brewhouse that long).
