1 out of 2 isn't THAT bad.

I had to pass up a paid near-Fourth of July piccolo gig last night. I don't have the lung capacity to play up-to-par since I've been so sick. It doesn't pay a whole lot, but it would have given me almost enough for my new memory card without bothering the piggy updates. Oh well. The American flag for my piccolo Stars and Stripes section is broken anyway. At least I can keep the actual July 4th gig. It's with a bunch of other flutes and pics, so I can blend in well. Who knows - maybe I can breathe better by then anyway. It's not like I'm turning blue right now. It's just that my bruised rib makes it harder to breathe along with the congestion. Blah... blah... blah...
