Today is a great opportunity to just relax and catch up on sleep. As instructed by the Doctor. So why do I feel guilty?
I wrote over the recent summer break (I'm Aussie, so for our Northern Hemisphere readers, we have summer in your winter) about how the Gods of Mischief and Mayhem had a bit of fun at my expense when we had our family holiday in New Zealand (see: https://steemit.com/life/@drwom/new-zealand-travel-blog-3-6-something-always-goes-wrong-parts-3-and-4).
That post tells how, among other things, my childhood chicken pox returned over the holidays in the form of shingles. The Dreaded Pox is back. SO awesome.
And yep, although they cleared up before I had to go back to work, they're back (again!).
Brilliant. Out damn pox! Out I say!
They returned over the Australia Day long weekend.
The Gods of Mischief and Mayhem are having a hoot.
So I am off work for the next few days, and feeling totally guilty about it. Even though Australia has brilliant healthcare (despite the current government wanting to take an axe to it ala Trump), and so most people have either had, or have been vaccinated against, chicken pox. But I definitely don't want to risk anyone else getting it.
So, I shall stay home. Get a few things done. And relax; take it slow; try to heal.
I hope this post finds you in a better state 🌞
