It is 2am, and I am wide awake. It is 2am in SHOW WEEK, a week in which I am working ridiculous hours: 5 days at Kidz Bodz, 6 nights on Macbeth; and I am awake.
I have a flu, the same flu that has kept Nick virtually bedridden for two weeks now. Even with nothing but rest, Nick has stayed sick. I have two weeks of show, and most days working, so no bed rest for me L And in two weeks I go to Europe. I hope I am not still sick when I leave!
I am running on the vague hopes that: perhaps my immune system is stronger than Nick’s? He seems susceptible to all sorts of illness; perhaps my far improved diet of late will help boost said immune system; perhaps the flu shot from July/ August last year is still effective and will help lessen the symptoms; perhaps the constant cold and flu drugs I am taking will also help lessen the symptoms. Although I couldn’t get my preferred brand which seem to be the ones that work best for me, but are so difficult to chase down (Nick says going cold and flu tablet shopping with me is like an Easter egg hunt…). I’d rather not be taking c&f tabs at all, but I have little choice- a necessity to keep functioning at this point! Urgurgle…
Anyway, I’ve taken a second night-time flu tablet (which has at least put a brief stop to my runny nose), and am armed with a lighter blanket (hoping to even out the fever- doona too hot, no blanket too cold) and fennel tea to hopefully make me drowsy.

Yeah my immune system would fall over in a stiff breeze. I think I trained it to take a dive at first sight of an illness back in the days when that would get you out of school. ; )
