Igorella

My beloved is arranging for us to fly up to Glasgow to join excellent chums for the New Year.
This sounds delightful. I just wish I could walk to the front door.

I am sick, a creature of voiceless phlegm, vociferous bowels and weak limbs. Let me perfect this picture of feminine fragility by adding that I haven't washed my hair for five days, and have developed a mysterious swelling over my left eye. I appreciate this may be more information than anyone needs. I find it worthy of record, simply for its potential impact on my breakfast show tomorrow.

I'd like to cancel, but I cancelled yesterday's show, and it's a darned expensive month.
Making myself look half way decent at 6 am is never easy. Tomorrow I think I can promise startling failure. They'll be lucky if I can say anything other than 'Yeff Maftah,' into the camera.

This is so stupid, I can't even continue typing.
I will try again later.

FFS Be careful!

I already know two people who ignored these same symptoms carried on and wound up with pneumonia, and while one was an elderly lady the other was in the rudest of good health.

If you MUST go to work, at least see your Doctor after before contemplating a visit to the Frozen North.

((((Hugs)))))

Oh, thank you for your hugs! Much needed and appreciated!
I seem to be improving now, but I must confess, I've never taken so much stuff in my life, Beechams, Lemsip, Contac...
