Skinbash

Still feel a bit crap but I did manage to do a bit of drumming tonight. Always helps to take my mind off things - even the member of staff who called in sick today with a ‘slight sniffle’ wanting me to grant them three days off to recover even though I’ve been struggling in every day despite having what basically amounts to a bad case of the simian flu from the Planet of the Apes films. 
But let’s not dwell on that.
Lucozade is a good thing when you’re feeling low. I bought lots of it from the pharmacy department in the supermarket this morning and happily guzzled it throughout the day. That’s probably why I had all that energy to drum with. It’s probably also why my teeth feel like they’ve been painted with glucose. As young Stephanie (who served me) said - “You might as well just pour sugar into some orange juice, that’s basically what you’re buying.”
I wanted to say “I feel like shit and I want a pick-me-up, not some cack-handed advice from a 17-year-old college drop-out who is earning minimum wage and being passed around the guys in the warehouse like a pallet truck” BUT I DIDN’T.
I am such a good person, despite my illness.
