Started the antibiotics today. Fingers crossed they kick this into touch. I was looking for a picture of Alexander Fleming (the inventor of penicillin) and came across this one. Interesting USP there… This was in the days before substantiation I’m guessing.

I left the house!! Only to go to the yard to see Buddy (who promptly told me off). Lots of cuddles with him. I’m about a 5 on the Tigger scale, so I am improving. Just not fast enough for my liking. I will be calling the doctors in the morning for some antibiotics to try and knock this on the head.

In case you hadn’t noticed, I detest being ill. Such a waste of time and energy.

6 years ago I posted this on FB. It was a decision that I made many years ago, to stop letting fear hold me back. Don’t get me wrong, I still get fearful. But I’ve worked how to use it as fuel. It sometimes takes longer than others. This year has challenged me at times.

Today I have spent a lot of the day reading ‘The Fear Bubble’ by Ant Middleton. So seems right to post this today.

Guess I won’t be sorting out the wormery… More rest for me then.

Dodo has stayed with me. Good news! The snot is abating. Bad news! My throat is still very sore. I’m still feeling dreadful. Just a little less dreadful each day. So that’s good.

Hugo and Nero have been cuddled up most of the day. It makes you realise how brown Nero has gone in his old age.

OK I’m boring myself now. But I’m feeling as rough as a badger’s arse! I love that phrase. It’s very apt right now as my throat is still so sore and I’m still feeling rubbish. Slept lots of today, in between watching Despicable Me & 2 for good measure.

No results yet so even if I was feeling better I still couldn’t go anywhere. I can’t even start the antibiotics until I get my results. Just in case.

I hate moaning. But quite frankly given everything else that’s happened this year, it’s beyond a joke now. I’m so fed up of being hit by thing after thing. Whether it’s to me, my parents or all of us at the same time!

Don’t get me wrong, there has been so much good stuff too. It’s just right now, I think I’ve had way more than my share!

Fingers crossed the last quarter of 2020 is better than the first three put together!

So it seems Dodo is a fan of minions too!

So it’s done. My Covid test is in the post. Can’t exactly say it was pleasant. Made me sneeze more than gag (I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere).

Interesting turn of events though. Had to shine a torch on the back throat to see what I was doing. Suddenly saw lots of white pus! So it appears I have tonsilititis!! No wonder my throat has been sore.

Spoke to the doctor who said it definitely sounds like tonsillitis (and white pus in throat isn’t a Covid symptom). Antibiotics for me then.

I haven’t had tonsillitis for at least 2 decades or so! Very random indeed!!

I’ve made it to the great outdoor. Still feeling dreadful but at least I can get some fresh air!
