Holidays have started early for me @Faith-and-Hope @tyme @Appleblossom @Snowie @Shaz51 Have been 'given' the week off because I am unwell. I asked if I could go back later in the week so the dr I saw allowed for that provision if I recover enough but she thinks it is doubtful ...and after how unwell I have been today, I am not confident either. On the positive side, lots and lots of fur baby snuggles but Clover likes to lay right on top of me when I am not well which is not ideal as I already ache everywhere. Tobes has of course not left my side but at least he lays either beside me or on the top of the couch above me. Managed to get to the chemist for medication but straight home to the couch afterwards. Need plenty of rest - which as you all know, is hard for me but honestly I feel so sick that I can't think of anything else anyway.

Hey @Zoe7
I'm sorry you are sick but glad you were given the week off. Hopefully this extra time at home allows you to get better, ready for next term. The couch sounds like the place to be. Sending lots of love hon ๐๐
Hi @Faith-and-Hope not much planned for holidays. D still got uni and S working a fair bit.

The dr said I need to go back if I get any worse @Snowie but I hope I don't. I need to quickly go to the supermarket to get some fur baby food but that is about all I can manage right now.

Please listen to the Dr @Zoe7 and go back if needed. They must be concerned too.
Even getting to the supermarket can be hard work hon if you are unwell.

I will @Snowie ๐The medication is helping but I just did the supermarket and am completely exhausted again. The supermarket is less than 5 minutes away but even that drive and walk was enough. Back on the couch now - fur babies fed.

If a quick trip to the supermarket exhaust you @Zoe7 then there is no way you could have done a week of work.
Sometimes we just need to put our physical and mental health first.
Your fur babies are going to love you home the extra week!
