The bad cold is finally starting to ebb away – and not before time I can tell you. This kind of thing is the reason I take multi-vitiamins and an extra vitamin C every day of the week. I hate being ill with a vengance!

Not that you can get particularly vengeful against snot, but you know what I mean.

I’m aiming to be ship shape again for the weekend so that I can get on with my master plan of returning to fitness by summer. And none of your half assed fitness – we’re talking running up flights of stairs without being out of breath here!

Sadly due to the current health speed-bump I have to miss five-a-side tonight. The game has come too early for me… as my cliché spouting manager would tell the media… although I hope to make my full return next Thursday as part of my ongoing fitness regime! =o)

I’m ill. Properly ill. Not just sniffy and feeling a bit bunged up ill – I’m talking proper coughing, sneezing, nose blowing and generally feeling very bad.

Haven’t been ill like this in ages – years in fact. And I hate it. It sucks. Being ill really does suck. First day or two it’s actually not so bad. You get some sympathy and you get to stay at home and play games.

But then on the third day it really starts to piss me off – I have used most of a rain-forest worth of balsam hankies – padded out by the occasional use of bog-standard… well, bog roll, just to make sure I didn’t run out of the nice ones. (Cant use rough hankies, me – end up looking like Rudolph the reindeer with a coke habit.)

To make matters worse it has been really lovely weather for the last three days, yet I didn’t want to go outside and risk making myself worse. That’s the bit I find more annoying than anything else. Anyhow, I’m back at work today and hopefully I’m over the worst of it. Should be fit in time to stay indoors to watch it rain next weekend! ;o)
