All Work and No Play

Almost!
I’m still grappling with this cold from hell. One day I feel fine and on the road to recovery – until the usual stuffiness and feverishness settles in again at night and wishes me a hearty ‘harro!’ Whatever this bugger is, it sure is clingy!
On top of everything, work has been extremely hectic. Enrollment at the community college I work for has been through the roof these past two months. With a suffering economy, everyone is inspired to return to college for remaining spots in the Spring Semester. I’ve literally seen hundreds of students these past two weeks – all desperately cramming to get in at the last moment. The semester officially started yesterday but students still have the opportunity to juggle their schedules this week so I expect the craziness not to wane until after.
Amidst struggling with the sickies, I did manage to have an amazing weekend. Rent the musical was in town (with two of the original cast on board for the encore) and Matty surprised me with tickets to the theatre on Sunday evening to catch the final performance. It was surreal. I loved the movie Rent but actually seeing it performed live on stage with some of the original cast was captivating beyond words. Even strolling through the downtown theatre district is stunning and an experience in itself.
For now, I’m going to nestle into a luxurious bubble bath with my tissue box faithfully at my side and bid the evening adieu.

Currently not reading anything because my head hurts..
Feel better.
Last November and into December, my family and I were hit by a nasty virus. Twice! You name the malady and this thing gave it to us.
Onions are the best thing for a cold. They kill germs and bacteria, and they clear up your sinuses, probably because of the acidic taste and smell.
Get some soup~
Live performances are always best! I’ve always wanted to see my favorites in a big flashy theatre, but I don’t live anywhere near one.
