I’ve been bedridden for the last two days with an absolute killer cold.
Fortunately some sort of truce was called to comfort me.
You know how it goes – you rarely get sick and bask in your superior health while your somewhat less-healthy colleagues fall one by one.
On Friday I could feel *something* coming on, but I persuaded myself that I could overcome it through sheer force of will – and confining myself to low key activities. This kinda-sorta worked until Monday when I spent most of the day sneezing and working my way through a box of tissues.
But yesterday. Ugh! Woke up feeling like my whole head was being squeezed in a vise, accompanied by all sorts of bodily aches and pains.
Today was only slightly better – so I made the executive decision to take another sick day and lazed about in bed enjoying my new flanelette sheets. I was previously scathing of flanelette sheets, but they’re actually kind of brilliant**. Perhaps I’d only even had super-cheap shedding ones before?
I can’t even remember the last time I had two sick days in a row, but gosh it was nice – despite the unwellness.

I’m sorry you’re sick but I’m sure a good dose of kitties will help a lot!
Thank you!
Thankfully feeling somewhat more human and was back at Project Sulfur HQ yesterday – in a sort of pseudoephedrine haze, which made everything quite mellow and stress-free (in the face of much hysteria).
To add to the litany of maladies – an enormous cold sore has popped up on my top lip without the usual warnings. I look completely delightful!
I have learnt the hard way that you should always rest when you are unwell. A day in bed with Netflix or BBC iPlayer, a good book and lots of tea cures most things. I understand that for some people cats are also essential.
Yes! I don’t remember the last time I took two consecutive days off when ill, but this was absolutely the best thing I could have done.
It really did make all the difference – I was quite the new woman afterward and recovered much more quickly than is usually the case.
A++ will take sick leave again.
Glad you’re back on the recovery road
Thank you!
Now I just need to get back onto the blogging road!
