I got another rough done even though I have had that cold for the full week. I still have it and it feels worse today. I came home to go straight to bed for a couple of hours but it felt like I hadn’t had a sleep when Magz woke me. I’ll get an early night, for a Friday anyways, to try to shift it. With some luck, that and a Beechams powder, I’ll feel better tomorrow. That way I can get some editing work done.
Being filled with the cold can really make work harder. Luckily I work with some great blokes that help to keep your spirits high. It is always good to get on with those you work with. I have had jobs were the atmosphere dragged you down. It was a relief to escape at the end of the day. Not that it isn’t great to be headed home from my present job. The real test though is do you have to drag yourself to work. When you are at that stage you know the job has become depressing. Mind this week I have felt a little like that though I know that is because of illness.
Yes I know a lot of you out there will be saying. If you’re that ill you should just take the time off. Well being on minimum wage means the loss of one day is too much in financial terms. It isn’t just me that is trapped in this boat so to speak. It is the sad reality of adult life. To pay the bills I need to earn a full weeks wage so I can’t take sick days unless I really have to and the cold doesn’t count as serious enough. No I would have to be very ill indeed to take time off.
My daughter has also been suffering this week with the same thing as well as tonsillitis. Poor thing has been wrapped up on the couch during the day at the start of the week. She’s hoping to be back at school next week though we will see. She was at the doctors today again having completed her antibiotics for her throat. The doctor didn’t give her any more so that is a good sign that she is truly on the mend.
All us unhealthy people has been a strain on Magz though. She hasn’t said anything but you can tell. I will have to get her something nice for her valentines to make it up to her.
