5 Feb 2008 - Working.... Just
Tossed and turned for most of yesteray, trying to sleep when every bit of me was aching and sweating. (Sorry for the mental picture there LOL.) Woke up about midnight-ish and decided to check out Stickam to see who was on. Delighted to find that Greg was well enough to go online with a re-run to meet up with his usual friends. Joined the room myself, although I felt dizzy, heavy-headed. Had a good moan about how bad I felt. Sneezed a lot. Runny nose and eyes. But I managed to stay awake quite a while. I did fall asleep for an hour or so. Not sure for how long because I just was not "with it". Enjoyed the funny chat in the cam chat room, as always and the music is always good. Proper music.
Even though I felt like death warmed up - extremely warmed up - I dragged myself onto a bus and into work. Turns out another person has a bad cold too and she left work yesterday afternoon and did not come in today. Did I say that the office was cold with no heating when we came in this past Saturday. Well there's maybe something in that.
I've just been to the chemist on the corner of the High Street and Bishopton Lane and bought some Lemsip (not the original lemon flavour I wanted) and Soothers (not the Lockets I wanted). I also stopped into a new sandwich shop called "Butterfingers" on Bishopton Lane on my way back. They made me a cheese and tomato sarnie. I struggled to get back to work because I'm aching so much still. And still sweating. But I made it.
I've just opened up the sarnie box and can just smell onion. The cheese smells strongly of onion. I can't eat it. I've had a packet of crisps instead.
I'm going to get myself a "wild berry and hot orange" flavour Lemsip. Don't like the sound of that. Why couldn't they just stick with the old lemon. Far better. I have to try it though to help my head cold. It has paracetamol in it (painkiller).
OK I'm drinking the Lemsip. It's not too bad - not as bad as I thought it would be.
5 Feb 2008 - Feeling Vulnerable
Some ex-friend of Dee's came around knocking on our door at 10 past 9 tonight. He came with tough mates. I could hear them outside my window. They knocked and knocked for 10 minutes front and back, which made me feel very vulnerable and nervous indeed. At one point it sounded like the back door was being kicked, the noise was that loud - it probably was. I never, ever answer my door at that time of night anyway. I'm a single mother of a daughter for gawd's saik. I was worried that some serious damage could be done and worried for our safety. They gave up in the end. Dee has told me the full story of why they were knocking on the door. As she's going on her school trip, she has enlisted many of her friends to protect me, including one whom I have met and trust. I'm really not worried now, the ex-friend knows what the score is. Word has been passed around via MSN messenger tonight so I feel better now. I did feel very upset earlier though. I have always had the numbers of the local police on my mobile but don't think I'll need them. Dee is a trusted member of the community with them simply because she is so mature, street-wise and sensible, so I'm not the slightest bit worried on that score. Apparently it's all about them having each other's possessions. Dee his laptop. The ex-friend her limited edition HIM CD. A battle of wills. They hate each other now. What a carry on over nothing. Who'd be the mother of a teenager eh? LOL.
Still feeing poorly with this head cold. Have had another Lemsip a while ago and another Soother. Trying to drink lots of liquids. If I still feel really bad in the morning I'll see if I think I can go through another day like I did today. Today was tough. Bloody nuisance having no spleen. Nothing to fight the infection.
I'm off now to down a doubled-up dose of my daily penicillin. Thinking about phoning the doc in the morning. For the stronger stuff. I am supposed to get an emergency appointment when I'm poorly because of having no spleen but feel a bit of a fraud jumping the queue for....a cold! LOL. I'll see how I feel in the morning and make a decision then.
Time for me to try and get some sleep. At half eleven at night! Wow! A normal bedtime! I feel like I've been living on American time (in chatrooms) for weeks. :)
