Daily Comment
Today, all day, I felt sick. I had a little vertigo and a little nausea from the instant I got up.

I couldn't get anything done.

Then I had a gig. I thought I was going to have to cancel, then realized I wasn't dead, picked up one of my basses, and said to myself, it's a fifteen minute drive, maybe the change of air will do me good.

No such luck. That was a very uncomfortable fifteen minutes.

I've played gigs sick before. I think nobody could tell. As I played (sitting, very rare for me to do a gig seated). Music heals.

By the end of the night, I felt better: Still a little bit of vertigo, but the nausea was replace by hunger. I ate the comped dinner before I even started packing up and loading out, and ate a Quest bar I'd brought as I put my gear in my car.

After, walking up the stairs to my apartment post-gig, I felt a powerful urgency and began to sweat as I fumbled with the keys, rushing to the bathroom with diarrhea.

After taking a shower, I felt a little better. I went right to sleep.

Epilog: I woke up early the next morning feeling fine.

I have a lot to be grateful for.

Diet Comment
This would have been even lower but for the end-of-the-night ribs, with their too-sweet (for me) barbecue sauce. Still, it's been so long since I've had ribs, and longer still since I've had what I thought were good ribs.
