Sniffles

I feel so rough at the moment. I've got another nasty cold and I'm sitting here with warm cheeks and a sore face. I need to take better care of myself. I got ill in June (try being a Stage Manager with a nasty cough - not easy!), and I think in July. Got ill in August while up in Edinburgh and now again. And I'm not even including all the eye problems/hospitalisation I've had to put up with in my past couple of months.

Edit: Checking through the archives, it seems that I was also sick in early April this year too!

I get a day off tomorrow so I can't wait for that. No work and no rehearsals. Although I'm going to a Roachford concert tonight (yay!) so need to get through that first before I can properly rest. At the moment I'm living on effervesent vitamin C, Sudafed and Lucozade. And Wispa bars too, even though I'm not getting much pleasure from chocolate. My sense of small has gone and there's an odd "sick" sensation in the back of my mouth/throat affecting my tastebuds. Throw my bad eye into the mix and that's 2.5 of my 5 senses impaired. This is ridiculous.

On a positive note, the "sense of despair" that's been following me around lately has subsided a bit now. Problems can be solved. I hope it stays like this.
