Bad Faery

One very ill lil faery

I am sick! And have been so ALL BLOODY WEEK! After nursing what was a low grade head cold all of last week, at the weekend it decided to evolve in to a much more serious and painful chest/throat infection and there is no sign of it shifting as yet. Consequently I have been laid up all week and I think I’m beginning to suffer from cabin fever.

I have coughed so much that the muscles at the very base of my abdomen hurt! It’s all very annoying and has left me very behind in my OU studies as along with the chest infection and the sore throat, I’ve also been having blinding headaches. To cap it all I had my second assignment for my course due this week. I got it done eventually but it’s pretty rubbish. I waffled on for the requisite number of words but I’ve failed to address certain parts of the question which should lose me a stack of marks. Still, at least I’ve managed to hand something in as it was touch and go for a while as to whether I would have managed to get anything written. I’ve put enough of an effort in to pass it (I think! I hope!) but have not had the energy to do anymore than that.

I rather stupidly made the effort to go into work yesterday and as a result I have been ordered to stay home for the rest of the week and even take Monday off to make sure I’m properly recovered.

Also can I just point out that if one of your work colleagues comes into work looking a bit under the weather mention it gently. Do not, as one my co-workers did, look at them in horror and tell that they look absolutely terrible. Honestly, I wanted to wear a paper bag over my head on my way home I felt so self-conscious!

Anyway back to the coughing...sigh, I hate being sick :(

Oh and I’ve turned comments off on this post as trust me! I’m feeling sorry enough for myself without needing any extra sympathy from elsewhere ;) I shall be back tomorrow to show off another gorgeous Etsy purchase I made recently.
