Missed by *that* much...

[jducoeur]

(That subject line should be read in one's best Maxwell Smart voice.) And here I thought that, just for once, I was going to get through the winter without getting sick at all. No such luck.

Just got word from the doctor's office that it isn't flu, which is nice; that just means that it's some ill-defined and hard-to-treat viral infection, though. It wouldn't even really be that bad (I'm feeling moderately crappy, but I've been worse), but they assured me that, so long as I'm this symptomatic, I'm probably quite contagious, and shouldn't be around people. So the past half-hour has been calling and emailing around, dealing with my various commitments over the next couple of days. Dance practice tonight will be run by Mara, with help from ladysprite; I strongly encourage folks to go, it being the week before Black Rose. (God only knows what we're going to do about tomorrow morning's meeting at work.)

Oh, well. I can console myself with the fact that, while there is no *good* time to get sick, this is probably the least *bad* week for it that I've had in several months -- between work and the game, pretty much any previous time since November would have been much worse. For a change, I'm fairly commitment-light right now. I just hope I'm healthy again in time to go to the event: Black Rose is always one of my favorites...

Hold the meeting with ASAP?

[jducoeur]

I'm considering it, although I'd need to buy a camera for the home computer. (Woe is me -- I must buy more equipment!) But I'm not sure that I can actually *run* the meeting: I expect it to run a good 2+ hours, and I don't think my voice is likely to hold out. So the wisest course would probably be to postpone, if that looks plausible...

Technically it's spring.....*wink*

Hope you feel better soon!

[jducoeur]

Yeah, but I started to get sick on Monday night, when it wasn't.

Thanks!

I hope your recovery is swift!

[jducoeur]

Thanks!

(And hmm -- I didn't get a notification of this comment by email. I hope LJ comment email isn't falling into a black hole again...)

I hear you there. I had to stop researching my persona shortly before Falling Leaves, and I'm just now finding the time to work on it again. Best of luck with your virii, see you at some later Dance Practice.

Would you believe...... Flesh eating bacteria? No?
Would you believe...... A really bad neurotoxin? No?
Well, would you believe..... Deadly Flu? No? Hmmm. Ok?
Would you believe.... a fuzzy outline of a virus?

Missed you at practice but my lady wife and I had a great first one.

[jducoeur]

Glad to hear it! I was disappointed at having to miss practice, it being right in-between two dance events, but keeping my germs to myself seemed to be the smart course of action...
