Down by the station...

Eldest dd has gone to catch her train for her induction day. She starts full time at sixth form on Monday. The other two belles don't return to school till Wednesday morning. Youngest belle is still in France. I feel better today than I've done in ages despite the stopped up sinuses and the deafness. I know I feel better because I'm itching to get back to work - or maybe that means I'm not better and it's the fever talking lol.
This virus has been very odd but I can feel my energy coming back. Hopefully the chaos that's been my life for the first part of this year will settle down too and I can have a few months of calm before Christmas and all that madness hits.

Feeling crappy

I thought holidays were meant to make you feel better. I'd been feeling tired since we got home but thought it was just from travelling, then today it hit me. Cottonwool head, drippy nose, hot and cold temps and an irritating cough whenever I try to talk. I guess this is my immune systems way of making me slow up for a week. Since I don't want to spread this around I called in sick, something I hate doing, but since I've only had one day off sick in 2 and a half years then I guess I haven't done so badly. Better a few days now than giving it everyone else and spending more time off.
It doesn't help that workmen have arrived just down the lane and started to Jackhammer the tarmac up on the road. Don't know if it's my head pounding or the generator.

Home but not alone

The youngest belle is off school today, something she's very vexed about as she wanted to get an attendance award for her last year of primary school. She had a huge nosebleed yesterday that frightened her and she's suffering from a scratchy throat and generally feeling crappy. Thankfully as I'd spent most of the weekend on the course from hell I've been able to take today as toil to stay with her. I'll have to get my copying and printing done tomorrow for my course work as I have to hand it in on Tuesday so I'm running out of time.
Writing is still a distant dream this week - I owe loads of people loads of things but I swear after the weekend I'll be organized again.
