Blurgh

I feel very odd today. A little bit under the weather, a little depressed, a little unsure of myself. Just one of those days, I guess, not helped by a night with not much sleep, due to a Rian with a bad sniffles, and a return of my old friend insomnia. It is horrible when your young 'uns are unwell, and there's not really much you can do about it. The little fella is more snot than boy at the moment, and it's making him so unhappy. And I think that, in my efforts to console and comfort and cuddle him, I have picked up whatever lurgy he is suffering with. Schools and nurseries really are a hotbed of germs in a way that would put any bacterial warfare establishment to shame, and this latest release is a doozy. So I'm pumping myself full of Berocca, satsumas, fruit juice, echinacea and Lemsip Cold and Flu and trying very hard to see it off before it grabs me completely. Right now I have a niggly sore throat, several aching body parts and a hot forehead. Hopefully that will be it and, after a good nights sleep (please God) I'll be fighting fit and refreshed by tomorrow.
