Looking hideous! It’s the flu!

I’m down with the flu. I was fighting it the whole week, feeling symptoms creeping up as early as Tuesday. But I was determined to see through my salsa bootcamp week. It didn’t quite work out that way. Thursday afternoon I could dance an hour, which left me exhausted. Friday I woke up, stiff in my body, foggy in my head. There was going to be no more work for me, physical or mental. I resorted to laying on the couch in my PJ’s watching films. I don’t know the last time I have been doing that. Guilt feelings started to creep up on me, but I did my best to keep them at bay. I spent the whole day and night on the couch. Occasionally doing some minor work, but the rest of time I was glued to the telly or sleeping. When Reinout came home in the evening I’d had neither shower nor brushed my teeth. I was wearing my glasses, which makes me look 10 years older, and in generally looked like on of those fashion victims I was watching on Style by Jury.

Today, feeling somewhat better, but still a sore throat and body. Fever is gone though. Planning to go into town for some fresh air. Need to do my nails. They look hideous. But first shower! I’m off!
