Colds

Its now one day until the first gig I've had in months and still my sinuses are clogged with mucus making my voice sound retarded. Any physical activity causes streams of the stuff to run from my nose. Once that's cleared then I become completely bunged up making it impossible to breathe through my nose.

I shall not be defeated though. Am I supposed to cancel every gig I ever have every time I get the sniffles? Am I supposed to give up gigging during the winter months?

I am determined to perform tomorrow night.

Yes my voice wont be at its best and I probably wont be able to enjoy the pre-show drinks that I normally would but I am completely confident that I will still be able to deliver a performance of my work worthy of the gig and its audience.

Plus, I have been researching online and have found loads of great tips for performing with illnesses so will be spending this evening with my head under a towel over a bucket of steaming water. And I have been resting lots and drinking plenty of fluids all week.

Fingers crossed however that the virus doesn't move to my throat during the next 24 hours!
