right now ...

i am supposed to be in DC

getting ready for my next opening night

going to the gym and exploring a new city

where there are so many things to do, see, try, learn

and instead

i am stuck in bed.

in a whole lot of pain

waiting, waiting, waiting

for my sickies to go away.

this is not good.

you see, for me, being sick is a prison sentence.

everything i love to do requires me to be healthy.

yes, i know that no one likes to be sick and it causes everyone to miss work.

but for me, it's not about missing work. i love my work but it's more about not being able to sing, to move and dance and stretch, to sit up long enough to read and write and create. to work on all the projects i have in my head and on my computer and in my life.

also, i'm terribly dramatic and make a big deal out of everything

but really, being sick is literally the worst thing that occurs in my life.

(maybe this should be a reminder of how lucky i am..)

anybody have a good recipe for vegan chicken noodle soup?
