It's been at least 2 years since I last missed work out of being sick. Not that I never get sick, I just normally work right through it, with a little help from my friends DayQuil, Sudafed, and Theraflue.
But, here I am, noon on a Monday, and while normally I would be getting ready to go teach in about an hour, today shall be different. No go. The phone calls and emails are sent, no lessons from the 'ole Erik today. My tuba kids will have to wait 'till next week.
Hell, I'm even missing a rehearsal tonight! WTF?!?! I must really be out of it. I haven't missed a rehearsal in general for about 2 years, and for being sick? At least 3 or 4.
I really hate missing things for something like this that is basically out of my control. Shitty.
The funny thing is, I was talking to one of my students parents last week, and she was talking about how this year they were all going to go get flue shots for the first time. And I remember saying something like, "Me? Naw I don't get sick that often, and when I do, it's not that bad." Good call genius.
Oh well.... Time for some music:

Remember those old "bitter beer face" commercials? That should be the new add for Theraflue. 'cept, backwards. I guess. Or something....
