After working boxing day, i had three whole days off which was fantastic. My nephew and brother came over on the friday night and stayed over, then on the saturday evening, my two nieces were here. Sunday i didnt have any plans as there was no church service. Well i didnt think there was as there usually isnt, but i was looking in my bag and looked at my church notices and spotted there was infact a service at 4pm and then a bring and share party. It was too late to go, which is why i didnt do anything on sunday.
Monday morning i popped to Ikea with a friend and her husband. It was the sales so managed to get a few bargains. They sell 100 tea lights for the bargain price of £1.75 and that isnt even in the sale. When i saw them at that price last year i couldnt work out if the sign said £7.75 or £1.75 as the one was wrote funny. After Ikea i dropped my things off at home and then a shipmate who lives in the same area was having a open day at home with cups of tea and mince pies so i popped in for a couple of hours.
I then had to go into work and pick up my work keys as they were needed by a shift runner while i was off. On the way home i started to feel a bit unwell, but thought it was because i hadnt really eaten properly all day and just ate a piece of cake at Ikea and then mince pies. By 9pm ish i was being sick etc ( i wont go into details as it really wasnt pleasent ). At 11.30pm i textd chris as i was working with him the next day to say for him to get in a bit early incase he needed to get cover. Fortunatly he is also a shift runner so it would be easier to get someone else in. I continued to be ill thoughout the night and didnt get any sleep. So at 7.30am i rang chris again to say i definatly wasnt going to be in work.
I hate phoning in sick as they always think your lying, it didnt help that they had saw me earlier in the day and i was fine and also that i had just had three days off, but i really couldnt get myself up and ready for work as i felt really naff. I even had to cancel going to my friends party, and sods law i also had to decline going to the cinema with jonathan as i was already busy anyway.
I just hope that vicki doesnt think i was lying about being ill, as id asked her if jonathan was invited to the party the night before, and aparantly he wasnt as it was only people who are in girls group and her housegroup that was invited. I wanted to check with her incase he had forgot it was the party and that is why he wanted to go to the cinema. Hopefully she will be speaking to him soon though, so it will confirm that i didnt see either of them that night. I do worry about daft things, but id hate her to think i was lying to spend time with someone else. Especially as she thinks me and jonathan should be dating. Me and jonathan however are happy to be just friends.
Yesturday i ended up going to work even though i didnt feel 100%, I didnt want them to think i was skiving and also it meant that they could see that i wasnt lying about being ill as my face was still puffy and my eyes were all yellow and bloodshot ( very attractive lol )
New years eve i was planning to go to the church celebrations but instead i put on my pjs and slobbed infront of the telly, as i really didnt feel well enough to go out. I am such a wuss when it comes to being ill.
Today is my other day off, so hopefully i will be back to my normal self tomorrow.
One of my new years resolutions should probably be not to be so bothered by what others think of me lol
Anyway hope you all had a great new years eve.
