They Say What They Say

At last I can begin a post with 'feeling much better, thanks very much!'

After the nadir that was Thursday, I woke up on Friday feeling much less fuddle-headed and with a nose I could almost breathe through. The annoying cough is still there, I still blow my nose every five minutes and I get tired quite easily, but at least I don't feel like I'm dying any more. I even ventured out of the house for a couple of drinks with A&O last night. Of course after two light beers I'd pretty much tapped all my energy reserves and I was home by 11PM, but at least it's a start on the road to recovery, yeah?

*makes affirmative hand-wavy gestures*

So I guess it's back to work on Monday. Bah! Although I do kind of miss it. Best work friend rang me yesterday going, 'Why aren't you back at work yet?' and I said 'Because I'm still sick?' and she was like, 'That's no excuse, I miss you!'

Awww, made me feel all warm and fuzzy, that did.

I'll see her today, anyway, at mutual friend K's birthday get together, which should be rather pleasant. We're going to the North Fitzroy Star hotel which has a wonderful menu and a fabulous wine list. It will be good to interact with real people again and not just those I randomly meet at the doctor's surgery or the chemist, which has been the total extent of my social life for the last few days.

It is unbelievably windy tonight and blowing a gale right outside my bedroom window. And speaking of bed, mine has nice clean sheets and soft, enticing pillows so I think I'll head there right about now.
