Mixtape Postcards

So let me tell you about this damned head cold. Started a couple of weeks ago, I took a day off and since then it's come back twice. I woke up today after spending last night at the symphony (Dvorak's New World Symphony for the mothafucking win) and I woke up feeling absolutely disgusting this morning. Stuffed up, sore throat and all. Like, I have to get on a plane in three days and I cannot be sick. I was able to take a nice long nap and I'm hoping some hot tea and a hot bath will help. Frankly at this point it's more crazy annoying than anything else. Apparently my lot in life is to always be sick in November because this time last year I had the first of three sinus infections. I leave for NYC on Tuesday morning and I feel like I still have a million things to do. Laundry, cleaning, packing, not dying because of this miserable cold. I got my hair done today and did some shopping with the Mom. Just turned in some homework and I need to sit down and plan what I need ...

Pedro the Lion was just on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts and said he had new music coming. Is it 2003? I have caught a rather nasty head cold that made me stay home on Wednesday. It made me feel like I was on the mend yesterday, but I woke up today feeling like death. Why germs, why? Need to kick it soon because I go to NYC in two weeks and homie is absolutely 100% NOT playing that. Speaking of NYC OH MY GOD I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!! I get in early Tuesday, and on Thursday we're going into the city to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. No concrete plans yet, but I for sure want to hit up the Whitney Museum (Andy Warhol exhibit opens next week) and this MC Escher exhibit in South Brooklyn. Plus all the food and just OMG I need it now. As for work, I really need the students to stop being disrespectful little shits. Like even my best behaved groups have been giving me attitude and I'm so fucking over it. If I had talked to an adult like that, my mom would have whooped my ass ...
