It's Not Easy Being Green

Don't be alarmed. This is not going to be a post about global warming or the environmental agenda. Or even about Kermit the Frog.

I'm am absolutely sick to death of being sick!

I came down with a bit of a cold last Wednesday, which got progressively worse as the weekend approached.  Suffice to say spending an afternoon in the rain at the Boot Sale didn't help things either!

So I ended up having to have 2 days off school, Monday and Tuesday, and actually had to spend those days in bed.  Now normally if I'm sick, I'll sleep for a couple of hours, but then be able to potter about the house.  Not this time, I just could not get out of bed.  It was awful.  But the worst thing was, I wasn't getting any better.  Hacking up a lung, runny nose, fever - awful.

Then yesterday I had to go to Manchester for Inset (in-service training).  I had to take a 2 hour train journey there, leaving the house at 6am - this is no mean feat when you are not well.  Anyway, I was on the train, minding my own business, but then suddenly I got an attack of the killer coughs, and had to pack up my stuff (I had been doing some editing on my laptop) and go hack up my lung in the corridor.  It was awful.

No better once I arrived either.  Nor on the journey back... 

And I had to go to school today, I can't afford any more time off (and also it was parent night tonight).  I don't know when I'm going to get better, but I wish it would be soon... it's not easy being green...
