He bought me the 'flu! I must have been a very bad girl this year to get the viral equivelant of a piece of coal!! I came down with it two days before Christmas and recovered sufficiently to return to work yesterday. Christmas passed in a blur of fever and sleep. But despite this I managed to open presents in bed. No Christmas lunch for me ( Read more... )

Sorry about my lack of posting for the last few days. Life is veeeery busy right now. Not only am I trying to prepare for America, I have been working long shifts, doing lots of riding and trying to spend time with Jo as she recovers. She is much better than she was both physically and emotionally and is going stir crazy and dying to get back to ( Read more... )

I am feeling better! Still felt pretty bad yesterday but managed to go up to the yard to take care of my boy. I had planned to ride but decided against it due to my weakened state. It was great just to groom and cuddle my horse who was a big ball of sloppiness because his mummy was back ( Read more... )

Still feel like crap this morning so when my alarm went off I admitted defeat and txted Jo to do George for me today. I just can't work a 12 hour shift and sort himself out on a paltry five hours sleep when I'm feeling like this ( Read more... )

I am in the middle of my 12 hour shift and I feel really ill. My throat is raw again, I've just about lost my voice and everything is going wrong today. I so want to crawl home n go to bed but unfortunately my lovely employers think it's perfectly ok to harrass us when we go sick to a point we are all living in fear of taking time off. I need ( Read more... )

I could really benefit from a couple of days lolling around the house but we are so short staffed at work that I know going back will certainly benefit my ( Read more... )

I didn't get to go to the Horse of the Year Show. I relapsed with my coldy-snot-sore throat thingamybob and woke up yesterday morning feeling like a car ran over my head and someone stuffed broken glass down my throat ( Read more... )

I have been ill the last couple of days and so haven't been going to see Georgy. This morning I felt a bit better so decided to go up to him and attempt to hack him out. Woke up to darkness. Mucked out in darkness. Groomed him in....yup, you guessed it...DARKNESS ( Read more... )

I left for work with a killer headache today and by the time I got there I felt really crap. I'd taken painkillers that had hardly touched it and it was so bad I contemplated telling them I couldn't work a train ( Read more... )

Ok, Now if I ever needed dear old Greg it's right about now. I think I have an eye infection. Started out as a real bad itch about a week ago and then just streamed with clear liquid. Now the clear liquid is getting well.......a bit gloopy and cream-coloured. Uh oh - it doesn't sound right ( Read more... )
