i finally paged my doctor and begged for some hardcore medicine, to which she immediately prescribed me some cough medicine and antibiotics that have done wonders to me. i started feeling better only a few hours after taking it–wahoo. that was saturday. by sunday, i was able to pull myself out of my apartment to attend this special salsa workshop taught by this guy, seaon, from L.A.–“intermediate patterns and tricks”. my partner, destiny, and i learned some crazy intense moves–it was such a fabulous, fun class. one move involved me twisting around and falling down to the ground, back arched, arm & leg stretched out, head only an inch from…

it’s friday night and i’m staying in again cuz’ i’m sick. this is almost getting ridiculous. the last time i went on such a sickness streak was when i was in spain–but back then, i didn’t have any medicine and my senora kept insisting i drink coffee. i didn’t go to work today either at the insistence of my manager. good thing as i was just dizzy all day, laying on my couch. i feel like i’ve become immune to my own medicine. i’ve gone through so much: sudafed, albuterol, theraflu, nyquil, tylenol cold, throat coat tea, chinese throat syrup, the works. if i’m not better by the end of…

a friend of mine sent me this today. ha ha.

i got progressively more sick over the weekend and just stayed in most of the time. i even worked from home today. the doctor didn’t have much to say except to continue taking sudafed. i don’t know what my problem is…my entire life, i’ve gotten sick on a regular basis. i think i was sick just about a month ago..and i’m sick again now. watch me get sick next month. it’s not like i’m not sleeping enough or eating on a regular basis. hmmph. the great thing about being sick is that i’ve gotten a lot of cleaning and reading done…a lot of me time, which has been nice. i…

my manager made me take the day off today to nurse myself back to health . it’s been fabulous as i’ve had the time to do some organizing and clean up at home..and to read up on magazines that have been piling up. i wish this cough would just go away. this last weekend was a major dose of indian culture for me. on saturday, i joined jigna for this charity event to learn the Dandiya dance. i got to dress up in a beautiful outfit and danced among hundreds of others with sticks. sunday evening, i went to benaroya to see ravi shankar and his daughter, anoushka, perform. it…

wow, i just discovered that one of the women that i used to sing with in the smiffenpoofs just released her first single, “swept away“. good for her!

ugh, i’ve been sick for the last week with this constant cough that just won’t go away. i had to start taking robitussin, for the first time since high school probably. it’s been awhile since i’ve *just* had a chest cold. i really sound worse than i actually am. so excited…i finally finished writing my first spec and got it signed off on. woo hoo. oh my achy muscles…just got back from another evening of salsa dancing..and it’s been awhile as I skipped last week due to my illness. in class, we’ve been learning this insanely long combination for performance purposes. it’s awesome, though, to be back in the mode…
