I am tired

[andrewducker]

The cough that had me off on Wednesday got progressively worse, driving me crazy over the course of the day

Did you at least get yourself a nice handbag for the weekend? :)

[andrewducker]

I got myself a lovely handbag, which I have carefully coordinated with Julie's dress so that I have an excuse to make her carry it, so I don't have to.

You, sir, are made of cunning!

Legally, if you take a days leave and find you are sick you are entitled to reclaim however many days you were sick from your annual leave. I've never understood why that made any sense, I've always thought if you are ill on a days leave then that's just bad luck, but it is apparently the law.

[andrewducker]

Yeah, it doesn't quite make sense to me either.

I agree you get the day back - especially if you're still off sick tomorrow. Someone was looking for you today, no idea why they were looking for you in my department, but I helpfully advised you weren't in. Oh night nurse never makes me sleep. Best thing I've found is potters pastilles. I lie down whilst sucking one and find I drop off easier.

[andrewducker]

Cheers, useful advice. And thanks for fielding for me, I'll check up on what's going on when I get back on Monday!

If I feel well enough I'll try to stagger to Sainsbury's in the next 20 minutes and look for pastilles...

Hope the EvilCough soon takes itself off. Mine had a last gasp (heh, heh) after a day with no cough, I had a little bit tickle at night, but then gone. Sleep well, eat well (too many carbs apparently can make yr immune system have to work harder) and hopefully you will soon be well.

[andrewducker]

Thank you, I hope so too!

I really hope for your sake that it is not the cough that I've had for 1.5 weeks, complete with high (39+) fever and headache.

[andrewducker]

Thankfully, so far there's no headache or fever, just general malaise.
