Ohhh, boy! Well, I have had the cold virus!
I can only apologise whole-heartedly to clients that tried to contact me the last week only to get my answer phone and no call back at all or to those I had booked in and had to cancel on.
So sick have I been that I thought at one point, it might be kinder to treat me like the dog I felt and put me out of my misery! You know, just one shot in the arm and I could sleep for eternity, floating happily on a cloud of pure white marshmallow mush, in a state of total bliss and harmony in the land of nod…..
I had to have a doctor out on Saturday! A real Doctor in my house for the reason of sickness not for the reason of naughtiness! Can you even believe that? Had to check I did not have swine flu! Well, in reality, my sister had to call a doctor to check I had not got swine flu as she was starting to look about the house for something she could use for a mask before she brought me fresh water and tissues!
The doctor arrived, some geezer I have never seen before in my life and I proceeded to die quietly the death of those that like a clean house – then get sick so can not clean and a stranger pops around, walks into your bedroom and bathroom both of which had not seen a duster for 5 days never mind a spray of air freshener or clean sheets! Ohhh, God, the shame….
Still, no swine flu here! A common cold he said, rather irritated at being called out, for what he saw as, no good bloody reason!
That is testimony to how rare it is for me to get sick! I rarely get so ill I think I might die easily! I rarely get colds or the common ailments that seem to knock others flat on their backs – when I do get sick, all around me fly into a high state of alert and panic and go calling in doctors when there really is no need…
Still, my sister is over the fanning herself madly with a paperback as she tries to ward off her menopause symptoms (apparently made worse by my being ill!?) has decided a face mask is not a must have item upon entering my home and is smiling again (now I am able to put my own trash out!)
I have had the torture of watching day time TV for the last two days as I regained my strength – Please, God, no more! I am ready to go back to work!
My phone is on, I am no longer infectious with the cold virus and apart from the occasional sneeze and/or cough, I am raring to go…
Thank you kindly to all that graciously accepted my cancelling of bookings, you shall surely be rewarded when you re-book!
Have a great week all.
