Yesterday, mid-day, I performed a small, beautiful wedding for a wonderful couple in Beverly Hills, then I drove to Newport Beach to my friend, Glenn’s place.
I hung out with Glenn and his cousin, God (from Israel) for a few hours, then Glenn & I drove down to Solana Beach, picking up Korine on the way. We met up with friends, Denny, Ellie & Pammy at the restaurant next to the Belly Up. Dinner was excellent. Johnny, Greg, Sal and Victor were at the table next to us. We said our hello’s to them when they were done with dinner.
Once inside the Belly Up, I met up with April & Edgar on “Rock Star Right” as April calls it (just below Johnny’s spot). We usually hang to the center a bit more (between David & Johnny – Cracker / David & Greg – Camper).
Camper’s set was excellent! I enjoyed every moment of it! Cracker’s set was also phenomenal. They opened with “Friends” too, which is always fun! Lots of dancing, singing along, and watching these amazing musicians play made for an incredible show! Denny & Ellie were just behind April & I. It was a great little group we had going!
After the show, we said our hello’s and good-bye’s to Frank and Johnny. Sal hung out with me for a bit. He’s such a great guy, and an amazingly talented musician! Ellie, Denny, Glenn, Korine and I closed the venue. We waved to (and said “thanks”) to David on the way out. He’s not overly social, which is fine.
After the show, Glenn & I dropped off Korine, then headed back to his place. I got my things and headed out. I wasn’t feeling very well (thought it was allergies). My sinuses were really bothering me.
By the time I got to Glendale, I had to stop at CVS. I was deeply ill. I was starting to feel aches and pains and congestion. I got some night and day meds, then came home and passed out.
Today, I woke up in severe pain. I slept most of the day, talking online to Leilani and Erica for a short bit. I have been laying down almost all day, with chills and sweats, sinus pain and a sore throat. Talking to Vivienne and John’s mom, it appears that I have the flu. Where the hell did I get this from?! John doesn’t even have the flu. He has a sore throat and cough. He’s functional. I couldn’t even sit up earlier. I felt weak and light-headed, and kept feeling like I was going to fall over.
Right now, John ran out to get me my prescription of TamiFlu. I’m watching Storm Chasers and drinking Bengal Spice tea with honey. My face and back hurt, a lot. I really am not looking forward to spending the New Year in bed. I’m sad I’m going to miss all the parties. 🙁
