I usually take a pride in my sickness record. It is a very rare thing indeed to see me off work, maybe once in 7 or 8 years, if that, but for the past 11 days or so I have been well and truly stitched up.
Two weeks ago Jane didnt feel too good resulting in her taking off to bed. I think Jane is ill even less than me so this we a bit concerning. About 4 days later, I followed suite. A week past Sunday while she was ill I helped to get the tree up in our village hall. And that was that, by the pm I was dog rough, and Ive not been good since. Every day seems different. Ive had explosive coughing bouts, sneezing and running eyes, difficulty in breathing, colour shift in my eyesight (a pinky cast) and the last two days just exhaustion. Sitting here now I am wondering how long it will take before I actually feel well again. I sense it is past the worst but this state of limbo feeling is still grim.
So much for a good health record, this is the 3rd time in 12 months Ive been ill. A year ago I had Norovirus for a couple of days, in June a heavy head cold and now this flu type bitch.
Needless to say, Ive not lifted the bins since so I've nothing to report, oh maybe the mouse infestation ? Ive live trapped 5 in the past two days and released them a couple of hundred yards away into the lane hedge. I hope its far enough because they are stinky little House Mice not our usual Wood Mice and I will reprt to more lethal means if this doesnt work out...
Hopefully Christmas will be an improvement....
