Antenna

OK so I might have to admit that my symptoms might be more than emotional stuff. I woke up at 4am shivering and sweating in equal measures. Sure sign I am with cold! By 7am I had to admit defeat, cancelled my morning plans and very slowly crawled through the day.

I had a very gentle walk with Bert. Thankfully he got up have a runaround to burn off the energy. Mucking out seemed to be a slow process. I had to stop for a breather getting the straw down. Whatever this is, I am with snot and phlegm. Delightful.

As I finished up, I notice this single bit of straw standing tall. It looked a bit like an antenna. Or a lightning bolt. Even with snot, I still have an active imagination.

Normal service will be resumed shortly no doubt.

Fever

Today my fever finally broke and my temperature has dropped. Thank goodness! Feeling slightly more human as a result. Still feeling utterly dreadful though. This flu has hit me hard.

Nurses Dodo and Hugo are loving the fact that I’m confined to barracks and pretty much confined to the sofa. They’ve barely left the sofa either. Let’s hope purrs are medicinal.

They say you should starve a fever, well my attitude agreed with that. It’s gone AWOL. Not that I have the best appetite to start off with.

This bug will pass. I’m in the ‘husky voice’ phase. Oh and the ‘bring up a lung’ cough phase.
