I will have it here and keep my chin up IRL. if that is ok with the nest of vipers
I am exhausted. I work in a retail position. When I was offered it, I was told that I would be kept on past Christmas. I was weighing offers, but as this was intended to be permanent, I chose this. Now, the manager is under constraints and my job may be over at the end of next week.
I have pneumonia, have been sick for 2 weeks, and was hospitalised for 2 days. My first day scheduled after I was discharged, I was back at work. Needs must, and all.
I am getting ready for Christmas, have to finish wrapping today, clean the kitchen, and get myself to the shops to fill the fridge (been working most days recently).
I cough all night, got about 4 hours' sleep last night (up and couldn't sleep anymore by 5), and will have to drive 2 hours in a snow storm to get to family tomorrow first thing in the morning. And, to top it off, the medication I am taking to try and ease the symptoms of this infection are just not cutting it (steroids, 3 inhalers and antibiotics).
And... I have no voice from the coughing, so even if I wanted to lose my shit and tell the family to go pound salt, all I would do is squeak. 
Thank you for the whinge... now I shall go scrub out the fridge and head to the shops. Thank goodness it is still before 8am here.
