After three days and most of today spent with a fever under my duvet I think it’s time to win my battle against this bug. And I have to admit I am quite fed up with having the flu (we are talking proper not being able to move flu, not just a bad cold) – I couldn’t even read as I was shivering and had a headache, so I spent way too much time sleeping and watching TV. The upside on that, I suppose, is I have caught up with a lot of series, both good and bad.
But I am fed up for another reason – I feel duped! I took all the vitamins and potions I could and they just didn’t do their job – the bug was stronger. So while I do seem to be coming out from crouching under my bed-covers, and the fever has subsided, I am still not feeling quite like myself. My nose is still stuffy, my chest congested and for some reason my right eye has decided to join in on the fun and has gone all red and puffy – yes I do look a treat.
So being fed up, for now, really just means I’ll be moving from the duvet to my armchair with my hundredth and one cup of hot herbal tea hoping that this bug will soon give up and annoy someone else.

Feel better soon! Do you have the powder mix in Ireland called “E-mergency?” Lots of vitamins and 1000mg of C. Years ago, more than 20, my doc in S. Calif told me to take it every hour. C leave your body quickly, so the secret is to keep in coming. Talk to you soon.
Sometimes the bug just bites no matter what you do to stave it off. Feel better.
I am today – my eye is still bothering me but feeling much better – and have to can’t afford to be sick any longer
