I really do, I always forget and do something else instead.  Shower, sleep, work, studying french, going out.  All of these things trump writing in my blog.  I am however getting better at taking photos of stuff.  So if you know me and have the link to my flickr I have been putting stuff up and tomorrow I will add pictures from our Christmas party. For Christmas I flew to my parents house in Philadelphia and suprised my family.  My sisters and mom actually cried.  Everyone else was just happy I was there.  I did however get very sick about six hours into my 32 hour trip home.  I had a 103 degree fever and spent the night shivering in front of the fire at my parents house with about four blankets on top of me.  I was freezing and the great thing is that my mom slept in the family room with me so every time I woke up there she was to make sure I was alright or get me water which was nice.  Depending on people I have only been touring with for five months when I am that sick is not something I had any desire to do.  So going home was great I got to be sick around the only people in the world I want when I am sick.  It also made me realize that I somehow became a grown up because on Christmas day I got on a plane and flew back to Montreal alone and sick as a dog.  Immigration loved me.  I actually took a day off of work because I was to sick to come in, also because I did not want to get the whole tour sick with my plague.  That would have been much worse than me skipping a day.  It was nice though when I came in on Thursday and everyone was asking me where I had been and tried to give me a hug, I stopped everyone from doing that and told them I was sick.  But I am getting better and am going out tonight since two of my friends from Brooklyn are here and throwing a party on St. Laurent tonight.  So I will probably do more harm than good to myself by going out but whatever I have no really explored this town yet and really won’t get very many chances since we have two shows a day till sunday.  I do have off the 31st and 1st though.  I will spend part of the 1st traveling to Quebec City with everyone though.  Then on the 2nd I start another run of shows, followed by five days off.  JOY!
