Being under the weather has meant no alcohol these past few days. I simply cannot enjoy a drink when I’m not feeling well - a hot toddy is not for me. In any case, even when work patterns allow, I don’t drink every day. 3-4 days off is good, and I usually only drink beer or wine anyway.
I feel much better today. I still feel a bit low on energy, but I’m going back to work tomorrow. In any case, it’s only for two days, since I have a week off next week. The immediate remedy? More coffee of course!
Yesterday, I went back to bed around 5.30 pm. I slept on and off all evening and night. I didn’t get more than about 6.5 hours of total sleep, according to my Apple Watch. However, I don’t feel so drained this morning, so I’ve got up and made coffee.
It’s 12.45. I got up at last. I needed the loo and also something to eat. I ate one of the sandwiches that I made last evening for work today.
A sleepless night. Coughing and hacking every few minutes. Called in sick, which is annoying, but I can’t work all day with no sleep.
Definitely feeling under the weather this morning. A sore throat and an intermittent dry cough. I feel like I am running a slight fever, so I’ll check my temperature and take some paracetamol if needed. I only take pills if I really have to.
