I will not be sick.

10 essential MUST-HAVES for the sick opera singer:

1) A kettle.

2) Electricity.

3) Water.

4) Honey.

5) Lemon.

6) An enormous cup.

7) A big-ass sweater.

8) Scarves. Lots of them.

9) The ability to complain.

10) Someone to complain to. (If parents and or boyfriend/girlfriend are unavailable, the internet can sometimes be used as a substitute.)

TIP: The complaining can be largely intensified if you have a lesson and/or recital in the next few days.
