Willow the Wisp

Well, I seem to be a bit better than yesterday. I actually have the semblance of a voice. Its ugly on the ears but it does mean that communication is possible. Again its a very unproductive day. I think my body is just too overrun with medications. I have medicine for my congestion and throat and pop 4 of those 3 times a day and I also took half a sleeping pill last night because I was taking forever to fall asleep. It did the job but I woke up feeling very groggy indeed. Not a good idea to use so many medicines really. The medicines are improving my ailments but have left me feeling somewhat in a daze for much of the day.

I will go for a rare walk in a while because today is remarkably nice. Its warm and sunny outside and Im sure a bit of fresh air, after a weekend spent couped up sick as a dog, will do me some good. Ive not even had a beer this weekend, thats how rough its been!!

I need to do some serious reading after this lost weekend because I need to begin work on consructing my latest essay in about 2 weeks time. Its not easy balancing working full time and completing an MA to a suitably high level. And being sick has hindered progress in ways which you just can't plan for. Im not panicking though...just gotta my eye on the ball.
