Yuck

I am SICK. Yesterday I thought maybe; today there is no doubt. My throat feels swollen and it hurts to swallow. I looked in the mirror with a flashlight, thinking it felt like my tonsils were swollen, but no, it's farther back than that. And among the redness there are a couple of white dots. Greeeeaaaat. So much for the ski weekend.

Of course this happens to coincide with the day I'm falling off my monthly naproxen sodium ride, which means my stomach is churning and I have a massive headache. If I weren't so embarrassed about not getting certain stuff done at work I'd be HOME!!

*sigh* Well, by the end of the day the headache and stomach problems should be gone. And if I can get my work done TOO, then I can sleep a bunch!

Yuck. Being sick sucks.

I'll be out in your neck of the woods next month, presenting a concert (of music from the U of Florida with my major professor) at Stanford on March 14 (and perhaps SJSU the 15th). Never been to CA at all, so it should be an interesting trip, and I head out there 3 days after Kimmy and I return from Seattle. Talk about jet-lagged!

I am a huge fan of John Steinbeck, and the centennial of his birth is in late March... it will pain me to be so (relatively) close to Salinas at such a time and not get to go, but this trip is just too jam-packed with stuff for such an excursion.

You rock! Can random induhviduals come to this concert? Will Kimmy be with you for this trip?

Skip the three days in Florida, come straight from Seattle, and see Salinas! :-) Salinas is SO close!!

I had thought about the possibility of staying out West, considering that I have a friend in Berkeley I couple probably stay with, but there's a lot I need to do those couple of days I will be back; most of all, Kimberly hates flying, and I could not subject her to a cross-country flight on her own. She will not be with me on the trip to CA.

As for the concert, I am certain it will be open to the public. The concert is being produced by the contemporary music department at Stanford, known as CCRMA. I have a couple of friends who teach music at SJSU, and they are trying to get something together, but I have not heard back just yet.
