so i've had a yuck week.
On Monday I thought I might be coming down with strep because my throat was swollen. Tuesday I threw all the meds I could think of at it, and got through the day. Weds I started my day and knew by 9am i wasn't going to make it, so I clocked off at lunch and spent the rest of weds and all day thursday asleep, waking for no more than an hour at a time for food, bathroom, and then fell asleep again reading/watching tv. Today i'm a bit weak and shaky but have logged into work and seem okay.
My question is....
I always feel like the walking dead post-illness. I'm sure we all do. My skins pale, i look almost bruised under the eyes, and i can easily see that i've been sick. but my hair looks and feels fabulous for some reason.

I'm in a similar boat this week. The one thing I was looking forward to the most when I got home yesterday from an unexpected overnighter in hospital was my own shower and just washing my hair.
And yes to flowers! I got sent a bunch and they really have brightened my day. I guess just knowing that someone cares enough. If I didnt have parrots, i'd burn some melts or oils.
When I'm back at work next week, I'll rock something bright to try and break out of my introvert rutt and back into my usual loud self. But even the simple act of just doing my hair today has been good for the soul. Even if I'm still rocking the jammies on the couch in front of netflix.

Sorry you were sick.Best advice is drink plenty,have homemade chicken soup with lots of garlic.Rest or at least put your feet up when you can.If its warm a quiet walk in the fresh air is good for anyone.Sunshine on your face or even your arms if its warm enough is good to raise your immunity and give you some colour too
Sorry to hear you've not been well hun, hugs and get better soon xx
Ummm I guess for me, just getting back to any normality is a pick me - usually a nice hot shower or bath, a hot coffee, small piece of buttered toast and my favourite music. But sadly when I'm sick and having kids (as a lot of us do), it doesn't usually work that way ha ha ha.
I don't usually get sick-sick luckily, more a bad cold or cough, but am up doing the washing etc. Maybe when they get older it will be my munchkins turn to look after me he he he.

thanks for the love <3 I'm actually a bit out of practice at being properly sick - now that i'm not teaching I don't get exposed to bugs in the same way so I get sick less
I was feeling a bit better yesterday so went shopping for an hour or so and got a manicure, picked up some groceries and came home, but woke up to a second wave of congestion and yuckiness so took the day off the real world and stayed in bed reading and sleeping.
I now feel better enough for a tried and true combo of yummy food (cheese, ham and pesto on ciabatta, kapiti raspberry and white choc icecream and maybe a wee glass of red) with SATC on the telly and an early night.
In the meantime, the shower, manicure and a few other things helped loads but ultimately i think the big win was listening to my body and taking the extra rest. I WANTED to go and get a coffee and be down the beach but thought staying warm and not pushing myself would be smarter
