So I left work a little early last Friday as I wasn't feeling too great, around 15.00. Drove all the way to London, and then realised I was actually quite ill with a bit of the old lurgy.
I think it's what the Mrs had last week, at least it sounds similar, it just took a while to gestate, and there was me thinking I must have already had it when I was feeling absolutely fine last weekend and she was feeling as rank as I ended up feeling this weekend just gone and into, well, right now.
On reflection I think I probably was feeling a little ill as early as last Wednesday, I was tired, my run on Thursday was slower than usual, indicators of the early stages of illness that you just kind of shake off.
But on Friday/ Sat/ Sun/ Monday I was DEFINITELY FIGHTING OFF SOMETHING.
It's a nasty little bug, not completely decimating, you can function, I have been out and about, but it comes out at night. Honestly I must have woken up 8-10 times every night coughing or just bunged up - I've been a total snot monster these last few days.
Sunday and Monday night it was so bad I had to head downstairs to decongest twice, standing up helps with that I found, and the noise, and to top up on some medicine.
During the day it's not been so bad, I've just been feeling a little achy, a little cold, a lot delicate, bit of a headache, but all helped by modern day drugs.
Back to work is tough.....
It's difficult to concentrate is the main thing, I do get sick pay, so I've told them I am 'doing something' the last couple of days without really trying too hard, I figure that's the best approach, I'm down at about 50% capacity, but I think it's fair enough to try and do something, I can do something, after all.
Still bunged up
It's one week on now and this thing is hanging around, that's what the Mrs said, I can function OK doing mundane tasks, like checking the BTC price every 5 minutes or cooking, but everything feels like an effort.
I hope this thing disappears soon, I want to get out for a run and I certainly don't feel like doing that ATM!
Damn, illness sucks, even if it is quite mild!
Still, watching the BTC and Hive pumps has gone a long way to making me feel better, come on!
