Nathan, his brother Andrew, our friend Lisa, and I drove out to Erie, PA over the weekend to take part in a wonderful Christmas concert at my father-in-law's church. We had a great time visiting Nathan's family, but unfortunately we all picked up a bit of a cold bug to varying degrees, and started feeling under the weather as we were driving back to MA on Monday night. I'm particularly annoyed at this turn of events, because I had almost made it to February without getting sick, which would have marked a full year since becoming a vegetarian and given me all sorts of additional health-based veggie propaganda to add to my arsenal. Oh well.
Last night I went to bed with a sore throat and a stuffy head, only to have the night made worse by a vivid and lengthy dream of myself giving a violin lesson to my absolute worst student. The dream was all too real, and I seemed to hear clearly the wrong notes, missed accidentals, and poor bow control that are so characteristic of this student's lessons.
I dreamed about teaching my worst student while I'm on vacation. As if being sick right before Christmas weren't bad enough.
Dude, dream gods, don't hit a girl while she's down.
i know what you mean about getting sick! i picked up a cold earlier this month, my first time to get sick since making various changes to my diet, including drinking kombucha, and was so irritated. even more so when a few friends noticed and commented that i wasn't supposed to get sick anymore. ah, well...
