Practice on Thursday was fun. It wasn't a great practice. In fact, it downright felt pretty horrible. My hamstrings were super tight from doing my whole practice and I was tired, really tired. I forgot to drink some coffee before practice and I was lethargic. I have to admit, I wasn't too bummed out when I found out the cat was away. Kiran practiced next to me for the first time in forever. We spent half our practice catching up between poses :) (shhh don't tell anyone how illegal we are).

Thursday afternoon The Son and I played Rock Band. The Daughter can't read yet so she can't really play with us but when I can get the thing into overdrive, I give her the mic and let her sing with the echo. We have been playing on multiplayer, pick your song but we switched to band tour to check it out and we won a van... and some fans... and a manager. When we created our band, we didn't bother to fill out any of the things so we started in NYC. I think we'll have to redo it and start from San Diego and see what kind of venues we get. I actually made it through Roxanne yesterday too.

So, later, after dinner, when my throat started hurting I debated whether I was getting sick AGAIN or whether I had just overused my non-singing voice. We had plans to redo our botched deployment last night. As the hours ticked on... as midnight came and went I realized, with dread, definitely sick. :( At first I thought woe is me, why me but then I realized it's because I've been really unhealthy. Forget that I've been eating better and doing good things... I spent 3 months not taking my thyroid medication daily... in fact, that probably has a significant amount of reason for my weight gain. Yes, I realize I've been taking this medication for amost 14 years... and, yet, I still can't get myself to take it daily. I get on a roll and then circumstances change and I'll leave teh bottle in my purse and it leaves my mind at the same time.

So my immune system is likely depleted just trying to keep up with normal life and there's this one last cold going around and bingo bango boom, I get it. :( Spent half the day today in bed. Downing GSE and Astralagus and Oregon Grape Root. I hope it is a short and sweet reminder that messing with my hormones only gets more serious the older I get.

I had planned on first series tonight... but I could barely see straight and the cough sucks... so I didn't go. I took the opportunity to watch Enchanted with the kids and lay in bed to rest.
