Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with a Virus

Well, I seem to be a bit ill again. I woke up with a sore throat on Friday and have been feeling decidedly virussy ever since. It's so annoying - and so unfair. Pants! Anyway, I managed to get through work on Friday and then spent the evening worrying about whether I would be fit enough for the gig I was supposed to be playing at last night. By the time it got to yesterday morning I was still stressing and not feeling any better, but in the end I decided it was better to be ill and happy than ill and miserable. I have been looking forward to the gig for months. I threw caution to the wind and went anyway.

It was fantastic. It took loads out of me, but I don't care. It was so much fun. I don't play music in public nearly as often as I used to and I've missed it. I played drums for a band for about an hour and it was really exhilarating. By the time it was over I could barely stand up and my legs were like jelly, but it was worth it. I just wish that I didn't have to think all these things through so carefully. I want to be young and foolish!

Well, today I feel better than I did yesterday, so the risk paid off. Hurrah! Let's just hope I'm ok at work tomorrow.
