Last night we had the extended Christmas jiggy with the in laws and I wasn't feeling right.
I took some NyQuil to get some good sleep and I was out cold all night.
Only working a half day today, and normally Thursdays are my work from home day, but I thought, fuck it. I'm not feeling well. I'm symptomatic sounding and decided to work remotely for today's half day.
I decided to set up a line up of double live LPs for my soundtrack.
Black Sabbath "Live Evil"
KISS "Unplugged"
Pink Floyd "Delicate Sound of Thunder" (Original 2 disc pressing and not the 3 expanded edition as it doesn't sound anywhere near as good!)
Iron Maiden "Live After Death"
Probably not going to get through them all before I head out for some restorative lo mein, but it's fun.

Not feeling too bad. Fever is gone. Chills are gone. Just in my fuzzy beer pjs and my D&D sweatshirt waiting for 11:30. Kiddo and I are gonna go hit up one of our favorite Mexican places for lunch, get some OTC meds, and fuck it...Joe's Records.  |

I worked Wednesday, came home & around 7 p.m., started getting a sore throat. Wrapped up w Vix & went to bed around 9 hoping to feel better in the morn. Well, woke up to go to work feeling absolutely worse, texted my boss I was calling out, Got up a few hours later took a covid test & BAM...Positive! Yesterday was a wash, in bed most of day. Today I did mangage to get up & I'm jamming some music to help with the pain The Re-Stoned (gaurantee no one knows them) Black Rainbows (prob same as above) Vandenberg- Sin Anyways, music definitely helps |

Hope you are feeling better. There are all sorts of germs floating around. I'm cautious bordering on paranoid, and declined an invitation to a Christmas Eve service, just to be safe. It turns out three of the people I would have been with tested positive for Covid afterward. I know, people get over it; but I am easily the world's biggest baby when sick.  I wore out Maiden's Live After Death back in the day. Loved it at the time, but in hindsight am not crazy how they jacked the tempos of some of the tunes. Flight of Icarus lost its groove sped up. I saw the Powerslave tour, and while ambitious, Rime of the Ancient Mariner kinda dragged, live. Then again I was sixteen and watching from the back of the arena, whereas the night prior I had seen upstart Metallica in a tiny club. The Live After Death DVD, recorded over multiple nights is solid. Good evening Long Beach Arena! |

Did another round of NyQuil last night to make sure I slept really well...and honestly...my chest hurts, but I think that might be because of how many lung darts I've been going through this week.... Not leaky or anything today...so feeling like I'm done with this. |

Frank's Red hot and butter, but I can't ever make those good, so I'm using Pepper Palace Medium hot wing sauce in the crock pot. Meat falls off the bones and I eat them with a fork. Not sure what movie. I think I'm going to suggest A Princess Bride. |

Eat garbage soldily for days and then wonder why you’re sick! It would actually be funny if you bought into that guy's bullshit. Tries to be a bad ass on the forums, but bows down to Tony Robbins. |

Eat garbage soldily for days and then wonder why you’re sick! that's cute. Presently on the stove, I've got some home made red sauce cooking. In the crock pot, I have complete home made chili with pureed black beans as the broth. In fact, I had soaked them over night. We need a super high protein meal tonight for muscle recovery. I'd suggest you don't assume one's entire menu based on one speculative dish (which wasn't acquired) and one dinner...which sadly failed and went largely uneaten. |
