Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 352: Sick as an Andrew part 2

Had to cancel lunch with Justin today and dinner with Essie and Fahmi which was a bummer but I just felt too sick. Managed to sit up long enough to blog what I had to, but mostly slept and chilled and watched The Blacklist and The Flash and consumed expensive medication and tweeted about my lurgy ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 351: Sick as an Andrew part 1

The cold hit with full force today - congestion in lower throat then chest and lots of coughing ... very tired so did only the blogging I had to do and then retired to lounge to start binge watching The Blacklist ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 199 - back to work ... and not

Headed into work as three days off sick had left me ridiculously far behind (despite spending 1 - 1.5 hours a morning scheduling tweets etc) but lasted just 4 hours before heading home to sleep some more ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 198 - Sick Day 3

Still sick although thankfully the cough seems to be subsiding somewhat.

In a radical treatment for my horrible cold, and one I fully support, Steve stopped in last night with a bag of Lindt balls he got me that apparently have magical restorative properties.

And Rachel sent me a GORGEOUS shot of my Dad holding his precious new granddaughter Jordan:

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 195 - Yummy dinner

My gorgeous guy cooked me a meal today, a day on which the sore throat of Friday night, and the stuffed nose and listlessness of Saturday, had given way to a full blown, chest-occupying cold.

He is loving getting back into cooking again and went to all the trouble of bringing this yummy dinner of chicken and vegetable stew (close enough to chicken soup!) across to me to enjoy (along with my housemate Aidan to).

So lovely to be looked after when I felt awful.

Here I am looking far happier than I actually felt

Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 234 : Sickerer and Sickerer

Yep I woke up even sicker today with what feels like a sore lump in my throat, a deep, throaty, and thoroughly unsexy cough coupled with near immovable chest congestion. I feel so tired that all I really want to do is sleep which I guess is my body's way of saying "STOP BEING AN EXTROVERT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO HEAL DUMBASS!" (think Red, the dad from That 70s Show saying this.)

At least the time off work has given me a chance to watch the remaining episodes of Eureka season 1... well at least when I wasn't drowsily closing my eyes and missing segments.

Heal thyself body!

I will now sleep...

( I am not vomiting but the images used above are so much fun that I had to use them)

Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 233 - Quiet Day @ Home - Just Me and My Flu

Yes I am sick.... AGAIN!


Thanks to the good workaholic culture of the company I work for, where everyone comes in when they're really sick thus sharing the germs around, and around, and around and....


Anyway, I thought I was winning the battle last night. Sure I felt tired, even after a nap, but I was taking the Ease-a-cold, gargling the Aspro Clears and feeling well enough that I thought I might be able to exercise today. Ha! I woke this morning, after a very disturbed night's sleep, during which I could have sworn I was swallowing razor blades, feeling grotty, sick, and in real danger of losing my voice. My gorgeous guy had to drive to an all day workshop at Springwood for a new company he is thinking of becoming involved in, and so I toddled off home at 8 a.m. still thinking I would spend the morning writing character synopses for my novel, then blog, the stick stuff on Ebay....

Instead, and because I am an ever half glass full optimist I didn't see this coming, I read a little, napped a lot (2 hours first stint from 10.30 - 12.30), got up, ate, read some more (finally read all my unread Entertainment Weekly mags - see above - so score!), napped again 1 1/2 hours this time) before finally having the strength to blog for a couple of hours and at least get something done.


Now I think I will curl up on the couch and watch some more episodes of Eureka, and then possibly sleep some more...
