One of the things I hadn't considered spoiling my birthday weekend was me falling ill. Yep, I have a humdinger of a cold. The cold seems to have made me stupid too. Well, more so than usual.
I got home from work last night and could feel the cold brewing, so dosed myself up on vitamin C, multivitamins and lemsip cold and flu capsules (as I loathe drinking lemsip). Didn't really make much of a difference, and instead I just suffered waves of nausea instead. 10pm, I was feeling really rough, so popped another couple capsules before I hit the sack. At 2.30am I woke up. Tried getting back to sleep, but despite the tiredness, just couldn't manage it. 3am, I finally headed downstairs to heat up some milk, flopped on the sofa and watched late night telly. 4am, felt even worse, so decided to pop another couple lemsip capsules. No sleep resulted, just more waves of nausea so at 6am, I vainly hoped getting back into bed might help. It didn't.
This morning, Dave asked me why I took the lemsip - as it had caffeine in it. Doh.
Lack of sleep plus cold symptoms isn't helping my normal Friday tiredness any. I want to go home, but I took a couple sick days last week, so must suffer today. Hope I'm better for tomorrow, but somehow I doubt it. Crap crap crap.

yep, you want to get yourself some Night Nurse! Gets you to sleep, although you can feel sluggish the next day (but could we tell the difference? tee hee)
