Staycation - Day One

I’m taking a couple days off, which, combined w/ the weekend and Canada Day, will give me a five-day staycation (I’m not going anywhere).

Today, I woke up feeling happy and less like death than I have in two weeks. I’m still coughing, but I really think I may have turned a corner.

I’ve learned this song on the uke. Still can’t sing. I’ve cancelled my appearance (ooh, I feel wanky) at the SAGE show, ’cause I have no idea when I’ll be able to sing properly again and it won’t give me enough time to practice even if I do recover in time.

Tomorrow I’m going to try to watch Sigur Ros and Bjork do a live show from Iceland on the National Geographic website.

I think I’m going to have a late morning nap after another sit in the sun to finish my old Vanity Fair.

Oh, a stay-cation sounds nice. I think they’re probably the best kind. Sitting in the sun and reading Vanity Fair - add a margarita and there’s a little slice of paradise, right there. (I’ve had two margaritas on this trip, doubling my normal annual consumption. But they’re very good.)
