I have the most awful cold (came on the day before yesterday), and am sitting here with a glowing red incredibly sore nose, a temperature, intermittent sweats, dripping nostrils and the beginning of a chesty cough. I'm at my Dad's - have been since July 19th, and will be until Sept 17th - doing the carer thing and making sure he gets to all his appointments, so am missing husband and dogs (and cats) terribly. I feel as run down as a run down thing - can't sleep cos I can't breathe when my nose gets blocked, have taken every pill possible (ibuprofen, complete cold 'n flu, sleep aid) and still feel like shit. Currently quaffing a hot whiskey (whiskey, lemon slice studded with cloves, a bit of Splenda cos I can't do sugar, topped up with boiling water).
Yes, this is an attention-seeking post - husband does his best through Skype, Dad is focused on what cheese we have in the fridge, and I want a hug. Or a good night's sleep - that would do. Or an argument, cos am feeling really twitchy and want to murder every single member of the rugby club who have been grunting outside my window for most of the evening.
Grrr.
