Eyebeemania's Chatter
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
Making my way home from Canterbury. On the Hi-Speed to St. Pancras.
Good morning. Woken up with a sore throat and eyes. I obviously need coffee for the throat.
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.
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.
Unlike me to still be in bed this late - 10.15am.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Sitting in the GP waiting room. Waiting to see GP about cough and about blood tests from last week.
Another day at the salt mine. I don’t like the shortening daylight hours.
515 am. Already at the salt mine. After today a weeks leave though.
A little bit fresh first thing this morning. I’m still in short sleeved shirts and shirts, but I put on a light jacket when I left the house at 4.15 am.
Depressing time of year - less daylight each day, and temperatures are dropping. Hoping for an Indian summer.
Yay! Finished today’s shift. At home, Showered, and about to eat lunch. No more work until Saturday week. NEver too much time off. I can always find things to do, or just chill.
The washing machine threw an error about blocked drainage. Not the message I want to get at 10 pm. Anyway, it was an easy fix. I took out the filter, and it was full of wet, soggy fluff. Cleaned it, put it back, and now it’s on the final rinse. All done before bedtime!
Saturday Morning. 7.25 am. Been awake for almost an hour. Can’t lie around in bed. So, at the computer with a large mug of black coffee, as is my usual start to the day. First day off in seven. Nothing specific planned for today, but maybe some gardening later.
