Reaching for the sky, with blue candles

[rhionnach]

I hope to be at Trout tomorrow night. I have a bit of a cold which manifested itself in the form of a sore throat and as my work involves talking on the phone this really didn't help when it began making itself known yesterday afternoon. So when the alarm went off this morning and I realised how bad it was I decided the best thing to do was to stay at home. So I set an alarm so that I could phone in sick and then I was out of it for the rest of the morning, with some really bizarre dreams, such as the remake of "Reach for the Sky" (huh?). It seemed to involve lots of blue candles as well as the expected story.

I hate being off sick, I always feel such a fake (and that includes the time I was off with cellulitis) and yet how was I supposed to talk today? I guess sleeping for so long helped me greatly and I hope to be back at work tomorrow. And at Trout tomorrow night.
