Myself and DH have had this horrible cough/cold virus that's doing the rounds. I've now broken up for Christmas, and it's like my body has given up on me 🤣. Aching, coughing, feeling like general shit.
Still loads to do for Christmas and also need to keep dc entertained. DH is working till Christmas Eve, so makes sense for me to do most of the sorting as I've got more time. I just don't have the energy.
It will all come together, I'm sure. This is just a self pitying rant...

Oh i feel for you. Im on week 14 of feeling like crap. Told it was a virus initially which then turned into Pleurisy, sinus infection and post infection pneumonia. Ive had multiple antibiotics, steriods and sprays that do god knows what and nothing has cleared it.. so fucking annoying. X

Thanks for all the lovely messages.

There are so many people with flu, colds, covid that are having such prolonged and relentless illness, I feel for you all and hope for quick and full recoveries. Not much fun at any time of year, but awful when you've been preparing for xmas. Merry CChristmas all🍹🥂.
