I'm ill. :( I've got a bad chesty cough, a sore throat and my whole body frequently decides to ache. I've practically lost my voice - not good, considering its almost always in use! If I dose myself up with painkillers then I feel ok, but the cough is pretty persistant. And I'm not sleeping because of it, which really doesn't help the whole getting better process.
As I say, when I'm dosed up to the eyeballs, I feel ok. So, I carry on with normal routines and forget to do the resting thing. Yesterday I didn't go to work (mainly because I was supposed to be working with vulnerable children and didn't want to give it to them) but I still did the 'socialising bit' in the evening. This morning I have kinda been resting (been doing acedemic reading) and this afternoon I'm going to town, before cooking for my housemates. I don't like changing my plans. I will rest when I can, but quite often I'll feel better in myself if I get out and about - if im not just sat inside feeling sorry for myself.
Several friends have been nagging me about this 'rest' concept. As one over msn has just said: 'please look up for me the meaning of the word "rest" and then explain why it does not apply to you?' I am trying to do it (when I get a chance). And I promise to get an early night tonight.
