Go to the party or not?

My old friend's bday party is tomorrow. He's a really old friend from childhood and I adore him. He's throwing a big party in London.

I am not feeling very well, (feels like a bad head cold and nausea), but I think it may be related to allergies rather than a virus...

I really want to go to the party 😩. I know it will be a good party. I also want to see my lovely old friend on his big bday.

It involves a train into London (an hour away) and then staying overnight with another friend.

I am thinking I might play it by ear and see if I can make it, but I don't want to let either friend down at the last minute?

But at the same time if I cancel now and then start to feel better, I'll feel silly. Also if I go and am ill, I'll have infected a trainful of people, plus the friend im staying with plus the people at the party, plus I'll be stuck in London and will have to get the train back home (I need to be home by lunchtime so dh can go out on the Saturday- we have small dcs)

I was so looking forward to a nice night out and now don't know if I can go <pouts>

YABU - stay at home, cancel now
YANBU - play it by ear and only cancel if you get worse

See how you feel when you wake up tomorrow

Buy all the drugs and go.

Play it by ear and if you go dose up on some medication. Sometimes when you actually go somewhere you feel
a bit better but you may wake up tomorrow morning really rough.
Perhaps text your friend to let know how you are feeling and that you’re hoping you’ll be better by tomorrow.

You may feel better after a good sleep so wait til tomorrow.

OK, I am feeling a lot more hopeful. Will send dh out for all manner of drugs this evening.

It isn't as if I'd be resting at home tomorrow anyway with dcs... probably be more restful to go out hehe
