Sitting in the GP waiting room. Waiting to see GP about cough and about blood tests from last week.

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.

Unlike me to still be in bed this late - 10.15am.

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.

Good morning. Woken up with a sore throat and eyes. I obviously need coffee for the throat.

Making my way home from Canterbury. On the Hi-Speed to St. Pancras.

Going to Canterbury today to meet one of my boys and my granddaughter. Only an hour from london in the Hi speed train. Around a tenner each way
