It has slowly been dawning on me this week that I've caught something. I suspected it on Thursday but knew yesterday. The headache, sore throat and coughing gave it away. I barked away like a seal all day.
On top of that I didn't get out of bed until past 10 (I aim to get up at 8 on working days). Luckily I was working 3-11 so that wasn't too bad. I made it into work and did what I could do. I shamelessly used my position as supervisor to delegate tasks I didn't feel upto.
I have this weekend off and knew I needed to do two things: rest and stock up on my larder. My local supermarket has recently been given permission to open 24 hours. When I came back from work, instead of getting off at my stop, I took the Metro to go shopping. In addition to getting groceries, I took the opportunity to stock up on medicines.
It was strange because I bumped into someone who works in a different dept whilst shopping and, although it was past midnight when I went through the till, they had to open two more lines to cope with the number of people there!
Anyway, The News Quiz has started so I'll goodbye for now.
