I didn't go to work today - I'm on 2 lots of antibiotics that have varied and disasterous side effects :-(
Managed 2 days at work - but my vision got so bad yesterday - alternating blurriness and then eye blasting clarity - I wondered if I'd be able to walk to the other end of town to get the bus.
Couldn't sleep last night, woke up with a migrane & vomiting.
08:30
Texted line manager to say I had a migrane & vomiting, Fell asleep,
09:00
Woken up by landline - someone (cold caller) asking to speak to daughter's ex - who she broke up with 5 years ago. He got an earful.
09:30
Woken up by line manager texting to ask if this meant I wasn't coming in? Texted back.
09:45
Line manager texts back to 'take care'.
10:05
Colleague texts - am I okay? Text back won't be in
10:20
Cold call - don't know what she wanted.
10:25
Text from colleague - 'take care'

Get up to vomit. Stay up. Fairly useless to try and sleep off the migrane.....

11:00
Cold call. Red mist..... All the cold calls have been real people - all told (amongst other things) that I'm on TPS.

11:30
Call from council in reply to e-mail from me concerning my (apparent) rent arrears. Point out to him that it may be the end of the financial year, but sending such statements ON THE DAY RENT SHOULD BE PAID is a waste of money and a red rag to someone like me, who pays a month's rent on the first working day of the month, and has never been in arrears.

12:00
cold call

Take care Maggie - thought it was strange you posting in daytime! Do take care. Ignore phone. I have had two calls re PPI this week, am fed up with cold calls and have been on TPS for years.

Ann - take care - son started with heavy cold after two days it went into a streamer but kept saying he ached all over then he ended up with chest infection.

<3 <3 One for each of you!

Thank you, everyone - I went in today and got sent home :-D
Spent a lot of the day sleeping - my favourite activity when I feel ill.

Elizabeth, it can't be seen in the thumbnail, but mum is wearing her 'utility' suit, and slippers!!!

That's dad's bike - probably a BSA.

Don't worry about the Council man, I'm sure he's heard worse.

Take care of yourself
