I got up early and went to the doctor in the pouring rain (seriously, what's up with the apocalyptic deluge?). I've had a nasty cough/sore throat/fever for a couple of weeks now, but I feel I'm through the worst of it and am getting better. Looking back at my medical history with my doctor, we realized that this is the fourth year in a row that I've come in to see him in feb/march with the exact same symptoms. Weird, huh? I'm beginning to think that it may actually be my workplace. I had all sorts of other theories but that is the one I decided on. An old moldy building filled with old moldy people makes me sick. He gave me some pills and some things I spray up my nose and an asthma inhaler-type thing. Apparently, I was wheezing when I breathed. Fun times are ahead. (I also got another ambien scrip. score!)

We had a rather trying band practice last night. We were attempting to fine tune some songs and work on new ones but everyone was feeling edgy. I sure wasn't into it. There's this one new song that we've been trying to work out for a few months and every time it's brought up it brings everything down. Things just stop. I think because I don't like the song, my attention and enthusiasm just die when we play it.

Everything else is going well with the band though. We're taking April off to work on new songs and travel a bit then we have a full May and a couple of shows in June set up. The plan now is to go on a three week tour starting in late July. We're waiting to hear back if we have a booking agent or now. I hope so because I sure as hell don't ever want to book a tour again.
