Wayne,
I appreciate your post more than many people here. I posted something very similar on another board.

Have you ever gone to Disneyworld and walked around for 3-4 days chasing the kids and at the end of those days hurt from head to toe, aching in every joint of your body? That's how I feel right now.
I teach Monday and the kids are off until January.  I need some rest but I also have a few jobs to play between now and New Years. I'm getting so old.  Of course, I guess getting old is better than not getting old. :sleepy: |
Now I'm a band director. I do play my horn ALMOST everyday. I have been sick a lot over the past few years, but I refuse to give up.
Your question is not stupid. Yes, a non-pro is expected to be worn out in a situation like that. LIke I said, I play more than most people, but I'm so worn out it is not funny. What makes me worry is that I have a few jobs this week and I'm just not physically ready to play them.
