Fucking Fuck Fuckers!
So I have to work last Saturday, in the middle of Easter weekend. So I develop a sore throat in the morning which in many ways is my most often got small cold symptom and my least favourite as I tend to do a lot of swallowing as a nervous thing (no giggling at the back please). So I get involved in a massive argument with a couple of users when it comes to refunding them because they don't have a receipt.
So... after work I'm heading down to the coast to see some friends for a few days. Once there, we realise we're both a bit ill and hungover and tired, so we decide to go back to her place, on the way buying three bottles of white wine, because we're not that tired, etc. The three bottles are supposed to last us until this evening, somehow we finished them off in about three hours. I only realise we've finished three bottles when the contents decide to make the first of several appearences. Luckily we're not far from the bathroom and I just about make it to the porcelein bus in time.
So... we wake up yesterday morning and the lovely hot bright weather we've had for weeks isn't there, although it does get a little warmer by lunchtime. We both try to do what we can to fight off the effects of not much sleep (about four hours each) and illness (did you know exactly how much more a sore throat aches after you've been doing some top-class vomiting?) but going out to the cinema or indeed doing anything more than sleeping in the afternoon is inconceivable.
So... we go to bed about midnight. Both dog-tired. But the fun doesn't end there! There's a crazy woman out in the street, shouting incoherently and keeping us awake for about an hour, the sort of situation where you're wishing someone would do something but you haven't got the energy to go and do it yourself. She eventually, one way or another, shuts up. Do I then get to sleep? Do I fuck.
Insomnia! Whenever I have a cold coming in, insomnia pays me a little visit, and I'm awake until sometime around 4:00 am. When I get to sleep I sleep until 7:00 where, for NO FUCKING REASON I wake up! And can't get back to sleep. So I lie awake for another few hours until my friend wakes up.
So we arrange to meet some other friends for lunch. Only all my other cold symptoms have kicked in, sneezing and coughing (on a sore throat, mmmmm!) eyes running and occasional bouts of feeling hot or cold. So we realise we're going to have to call it off and get me to the station so I can try and get home.
Which I manage, and am currently a few feet away from my bed. I have some Rescue Remedy which I'll be taking shortly in the hopes I can get a proper nights sleep.
Only my Dad's just called to let me know he and Mum are over at Nan's house, who is apparently very ill...
So how was your weekend? |
