After the shows in Göteborg I got a ride back to Stockholm with some fans, and then I took a week off touring to visit my family. That was all well, hadn’t it been for the fact that I had caught a really bad cold on my way. Most likely I must have gotten too close to som evil germs at Ullevi. Anyway the mean little fellows has made my life miserable, I cough, sneeze and when I went to the doctor he suspected that I might have developed a sinus infection. 🙁 So now I have all sorts of medicine to eat or spray in my poor nose.

Hopefully this will get this almost dead woman walking again, because tomorrow my flight for Barcelona and the last two shows of the European leg, leaves.

I don’t know why this happens to me. Last year, I got sick just when I got Christmas break from work and was about to go to Paris and London for two shows. In 2002 when I saw my first Springsteen concert abroad – in Barcelona as a matter of fact – I came home with a cold that turned into bronchitis. I don’t know if it’s air conditioning, too much work or just being among thousands of people where obviously somebody is always having a cold, that gets me. Anyway, it’s really frustrating to get ill when you’re about to go abroad to see your favorite artist.

Hopefully I’ll get a seat for the first show, and if the weather is not so hot I’ll make it. Maybe I should make a request for Dead Man Walking if I get the chance? 😉

I do wish that Springsteen and the band keep playing with the setlist, I do want something extra when the European leg wraps up this weekend.
