Sea day/Lauderdale/Sea day

Dec 26th/27th/28th
At Sea/Lauderdale/At Sea

The 26th was just our sea day back to Lauderdale. I’m still sick, but I guess it’s getting better, at least now I’m back into a functioning mode. There was nothing too spectacular for the 26th, just the usual farewell sequence of events. I skipped the jazz jam that we do at the end of each cruise, something I haven’t missed once in the 5 months I’ve been here, but I really didn’t want to force myself to play when I didn’t need to.
The 27th was Lauderdale again, and I decided not to get off the ship this time. I slept in a bit, got lunch, made some phone calls, and worked in my room till we departed and the welcome aboard gigs started. That aside, there wasn’t much more to that Thursday.
And then the 28th…similar to the last two days. I’m still sick and am just generally stuffed up along with a slight pain in my right ear. It’s not so bad that I can’t play the shows, but it’s just annoying to have to deal with. We played the All Access production show that night, and that was about it for the day. I’ve been trying to keep everything low key hoping it’ll help me fight this cold, but so far, it’s hanging with me.
