*cough cough*

I have an ear infection now and have to go on a course of antibiotics. I feel absolutely crap so I've been mainly laying in bed with the kittys. Thanks for all your well wishes! I just wish I was able to support you guys this week also but the infection means I have constant headaches etc and can't seem to handle too much in one sitting. Work has been understanding to a degree but you can hear the tone of annoyance. I am kind of pissed about that but I can understand. All I can do is rest and get better.

Exercise wise I was naughty. I heard about a death in the family on Tuesday and decided to "ride" it out of me. That very same night I thought it'd be a good idea to go to Yoga. But in final relaxtion time it all came out of me and I went into a coughing fit. I do really need to rest and finally understand the value in doing so.

On another WW front, I recieved a copy of the Basic Cookbook in the mail, whoot! WW had a promotion in July which offered the cookbook to members if they stayed 5 out of 6 meets. Unfortunately though when I went to redeem the book the leader didn't have any and never would so I queried the seemingly false promotional advertising with Head Office. They sent one out to me. Apparantly they just ran out?? I think the book is ace but if you're a cook already, it's probably too simplistic. For me it's great and a nice addition to my cookbook collection.

I'm going to try catch up on a few blogs now. I hope everyone else is having a good week!

I hope you are feeling better soon. I got that cook book from my meeting no problems. Actually she had stacks!! Maybe it was just your leader didn't bother to order any in?? Don't worry about work. It will only stress you and you don't need that if you are going to recover quickly. Take care and stay in bed!!! XX

Naughty, naughty, very naughty.. But I can so understand. I have had the cough for about a week and my throat still feels like it has razer blades everytime I swallow. Days are OK but nights are driving me bonkers. But can't really complain (even though I just did) so will be quiet now.

It is tough when you first go back to an office environment and then have to take time off. But if it is any consolation - they probably gave it to you in the first place so you are quite within your rights to blame them :)

Laying in bed with the kittys sounds like bliss, oh except that you are sick :-(

Hope you start feeling better soon!!

Thanks heaps for all your comments. Your support means a lot :o)

So sorry to hear that you now have an ear infection - hope it clears up soon. I wish whatever I have got would make a decision to hit me or push off and leave me alone !! I know what you mean about the work situation - it is difficult but I think that M is right - you probably caught the bug there so what can you do ???
Take care, be good and look after yourself. Lotsa hugs and hope you feel better soon !!!

Ouch, I remember ear infections, they hurt :( Lots of rest, and playing with kittys in bed sounds like a good way of doing that (as long as they don't do something particularly stupid and you end up laughing so much you start hacking). Hope you're feeling better soon, but in the meantime, take full advantage - a soak in a hot bath, someone else making your food, cuppas in bed - got to make the most of it ;)

Kate said...

Hope you keep feeling better, it sounds awful! Take it easy, and good luck for your weigh in tomorrow. xx
p.s. thanks for the shopping!! ;)

Don't know about you but, when I was a kid, if we were sick we had to stay in bed and that was that. Rest was compulsory. I make my kids do that. They think I suck because of it but good old fashioned rest and recuperation is the key to getting over something and getting over it well. As for the antibiotics, they'll do the trick but will also wipe out the good bacteria in the gut while they are at it so, after the course is done, grab yourself some acidophilus powder (or just the good old yoghurt kind) and take that for a couple of weeks to build up the good bacteria again. Keep warm and watch crappy TV and you will be back to your old self in no time. And no exercising!! Mum says!!

I hope you're feeling better soon! Being in bed is not fun, neither are coughing fits. Take care of yourself, you hear? And I'm glad you got the book. :D

Mary you need to listen to your body and take it easy, at least until you can exercise and breath properley at the same time 8-) Hope you have a quick recovery.lb

A Girl Running said...

ouch. My two youngest just came off antibiotics with ear infections.

I hope you do get some rest because it sounds like your really sick and the rest will do you good - your a hard working girl and need a bit of a break I feel.

That's my two bobs worth anyways!
