Well, my sweet caring husband who shares everything with me has gracious shared his cold germs with me. It hit me Thursday night and I thought staying home on Friday would stop it in it's tracks. I think the only thing that went wrong with that plan was that I refused to rest. As usual, I worked harder at home than I would have at work. Oh well, at least I didn't spread my germs any further.
I sneezed and sniffled my way through the day just hoping that I could get through 3 consecutive minutes on Friday night while Karlo and I danced in a little performance in Mansfield. Yes, of course I'm telling you all this after the event instead of before. I'm not stupid ;-) I have to say I was thrilled to get through the dance without sneezing or having to wipe my nose mid Lindy turn, but we had other problems. First, I was experiencing a waredrobe malfunction. I learned my lesson to always practice in the outfit you plan to dance it. Very frustrating. Then there was the small issue of Karlo screwing up some steps. I know I shouldn't have been disappointed in the small screw up, but I was . . . because I'm a perfectionist at times and we were the center attraction of the song, with a solo no less. Oh well, I'm still thrilled that we did it. We even celebrated and went out to Friendly's for ice cream after the show. And a small footnote regarding Friendly's . . . that will be our very last trip to Friendly's in this lifetime. We should have followed our gut the first 3 times we felt compelled to get up and walk out. At least the ice cream was nice on my throat.
