Advent 2025 - Day 9

[wiseheart]

Still fairly dead. Still having the problem of best laid plans going awry. My brilliant idea was to do the grocery shopping while the physiotherapist lady is with Mum, put the groceries I bought away and then go to choir practice. The PT lady was late today, which lead to only half the shopping being done. Meaning that I'll have to do the other half on Thursday, when we're also having a rehearsal on the actual location of the concert. Joy, joy, joy - NOT!

Choir practice was fairly miserable today. Instead of getting better, we seem to get worse each time. I hope we'll have a halfway acceptable performance on Saturday, but I don't put my hopes too high. If only M. (our choir leader) would learn to adjust her way too ambitious expectations! We're just a bunch of middle aged (or older) women, for God's sake, not some big professional choir where the average age is 25 years! Ah, well, I'm taking a break after this anyway.

So, it was a stressful day, and I might even caught a cold somewhere along the events. Aspirin+C for the night is on the plan. I can't break my six-years-without-and-illness record right now, can I?

Oh wow. That's too bad about choir.

Oh wow, sorry about the choir, how disappointing.

Oh no. Hope the aspirin plus vitamin C does the trick.

Someone suggested warm orange juice to me to deal with colds. I was shocked to find that it is actually quite soothing for cold symptoms.

I hope that aspirin will do the trick!

Fingers crossed the actual concert goes well!

It really is. :(

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Very much so, yeah. :(

It usually does, but this time wrapping myself in a really thick, warm poncho proved to be enough.

Not so surprising, actually; most of those hot drinks for cold symptoms have orange in them, too.

In the end, I didn't take it. My thick poncho warmed me up quite nicely, and that was enough.

Funnily enough, that's often the case. Let's hope we get lucky this time, too.
