Posting for traffic. Just as I'm logging off my laptop last night to go on leave for Christmas I started with a cough and I felt completely exhausted. I need to drive about 4-5hours to get home and usually do it in the middle of the night. I didn't go today and have been sleeping, I now ache everywhere and could barely lift my shopping bag earlier. Does anyone have any tips to get me motivated to pack the car? I don't have a partner or DCs so I know it could be alot worse. I honestly feel like crying I feel so I'll. I'm cooking some food and I've stocked up on paracetamol and ibuprofen. Why did flu get me just as I need to get my shit together, how did it know?
