Tag: not allowed to be ill

Cough, cough

Tuesday, 25 November 2008 by Confuzzled Bev, posted in life, me, work

Bleurgh, I feel like crap.

My throat hurts, I haven’t been warm once all day, I’m aching all over and I keep coughing. I feel there’s a slight chance I may be coming down with a cold. Which sucks. I mean, being ill always sucks, but it’s even more sucky right now, because:

1. I have a progress meeting at work tomorrow. I’m very nervous about it. I don’t need a cold to make me feel even worse.
2. I start my Spanish course tomorrow. The lesson is from 6pm – 9pm. Really need the old brain to be working for that, which it won’t be if I have a cold.
3. I have friends coming round for Christmas dinner on Saturday. The boyfriend and I spent 56 euros in the English shop last weekend. I bought crackers, I bought cranberry sauce, I even bought bread pudding mix. I don’t even like bread pudding! And today a bought a turkey. I refuse to cancel this bloody meal! Therefore I am not allowed to be ill.
Grrr.

I think I shall go and make myself some hot lemon. Not sure if it actually does anything against colds, but at least it might warm me up!

Welcome to Confuzzledom!

30-something (eek, how did that happen?) English woman living in Switzerland with my German boyfriend. Mama to two teeny stars in the sky born too soon at 16 weeks, 4 days and to Zyma, born in December 2021 after undergoing an operation for spina bifida before she was even born.

I read, I cross stitch, I travel. Occasionally I bake. I hate being referred to as an expat (why are only poor people/non-whites "migrants"?). I blog about anything that comes into my head. It keeps me sane!
