The Pod Files - Sunday March 26 2023

 

Sunday was a difficult night, because I was really poorly for the whole shift. My head was spinning, I was choking whenever I needed to speak, and coughing up, well, that’s too much information. 

I think that working over the bitterly cold weekend made it so much worse.

What came next was a rarity. When I woke up on Monday afternoon, I sent a message to work to let them know that I wouldn’t be in, and that I couldn’t talk without choking.

As I’m writing this on Tuesday morning, other than for trips to the toilet, I haven’t gotten out bed since getting in from work on Monday morning. I may have to organise a home delivery for the weekly shop. :-(
