Every single year…

I’ve spent the last few  months practising for our big winter concert with the pop orchestra I play with. 
 

For the second year on the bounce, I’m coming down with flu the night before the gig. 
 

If it’s anything like the what my wife currently has, I’ll be in no fit state to play. Months of work down the pan. 
 

Grrr I hate getting ill!!!

Sorry to hear this. Have you seen that stuff you can spray into your throat at the first sign of cold symptoms? I don't usually go for that kinda thing but someone's randomly gave me some and recently, being very bored of constant illness, have tried it, and it does seem to work! May not make any difference if you have the flu, of course.

 

Other than that, consider annual flu jab?

 

Hope you're able to do the gig.

Sorry to hear this! 
 

Can’t be helped though, just Sod’s Law it often strikes at the most inappropriate times!
 

Hopefully it’s not too bad straight out of the gate and you’re able ‘dose’ up and power through! 🤞

Thanks, yep, unfortunately I have other health issues which mean when I get something it really does a number on me. Already fully jabbed to the nines.

 

Feeling a bit better this morning but still quite dizzy so I suspect discretion is probably the better part of valour in this case... 😭

Suck-age.

I find that as soon as a holiday  arrives, the stress levels chill out and the viruses move in.

 

it just seems to happen that way , need to find a relaxing way of keeping up the motivational stress levels for the holidays.
