Of course after a whirlwind birthday weekend, I ended up getting sick. Have been battling a cold for about a week now. Sore throat, hacking cough, the works. Which is difficult when you spend most of your free time watching theatre. I've gone through an entire bag of Ricola in the past 5 days! Friday night I saw Venus in Fur, Saturday I went to Sleep No More (rooms with fog machines were not my friend), Sunday I saw a college classmate play the lead in Sister Act (I was so proud I cried) and then yesterday I saw a workshop of a new musical and then went to Celebrity Autobiography with my brother and his gf. So cough suppression has been necessary.

Luckily I also still have the bourbon that I carried around the city of Boston, so I've been supplementing my regimen of sleep and Ricola with hot toddies at night. I can't tell if I'm getting better or if I'm just being ambitious. And I might be setting myself back slightly by going to Bikram today, but oh well, I feel like I need to sweat some of this out.
