Last week was a mixed one for me. I went from feeling great, to being really sick, to then being fine again, and as of today, feeling craptastic. Added to that roller coaster of health, I had to continue to pack up everything in my flat in preparation of my impending move.

I also had my little cousins 21st birthday party to attend, and thankfully that happened at the point where I was feeling pretty good. If it had fallen on one of the days I was sick, struggling through it would have been torture. As it was I had a really good time, and got to catch up with people I hadn’t seen in a while.

The reason I was sick, and then not, and then sick again is because of the fact that I work in a department of 2 people. My boss has been sick for a week or two, but we both come in most of the time whether we’re sick or not. It basically means that as soon as one of us recovers the other usually gets sick, and then passes it back. It’s difficult to break the cycle because we’re so busy that it’s hard for either of us to be away for an extended period.

It also doesn’t help that something, that can only be described as a plague, has been rampaging it’s way through the entire office since Christmas, and doesn’t seem to want to leave.

So all I seem to have done in the last week, is feel sorry for myself, and clean the flat. It was not the most enjoyable of weeks.
