Dead night

There was a second show added last night, but we couldn't afford to tack it on to our agenda, dangit.

Tonight, Allstate Arena, The Dead. I can't wait!

D's visit has been good so far, despite the fact that I was sick before he got here, and just got sicker as time went by.

Ended up at a convenient care place on Friday to get help. Was diagnosed with an ongoing virus, and a new sinus infection. Got some antibiotics. Finally, today, I feel almost normal again.

A full week into D's stay, and I finally feel up to par. Sigh...oh well. He's been very caring and helpful.

Last week, we took the train into the city, and took a bus to the Field museum.
We had a massage lesson.
We dealt with my illness.
We watched movies.
We ate out.
We went to a Cubs' game on Saturday.
We celebrated with friends on Sunday.

Yesterday, because of the hierarchy at work, I had to go to the office. My sister and brother in law took D back into the city for a quick afternoon jaunt. They did the Hancock observatory.

Then, home, where I met them, and we had a quatro di mayo dinner and some margaritas.

It's been busy, to say the least.

Tonight's show is the highlight for me. I've been a Deadhead most of my life, and disagree with those who say that Jerry WAS the Dead.

Like any organism, the band had several integral parts. One of them is gone, never to be replaced....but the energy is much the same, and I need an infustion!

I'll be scanning the crowd for old familiar faces, and new acquaintances. It will be fun!
