Up and down

I thought I was getting better and then it all went downhill! During the weekend I felt my cough coming back and was thinking ‘surely not ?!’

Went into work on Monday with much trepidation, alas, it was exactly as I expected, I had a coughing fit every few minutes and was drinking so much water I had to go to the loo every half an hour. After a ‘tears run down your face’ coughing fit in the stairwell, a colleague looked at me and told me I don’t look well and should go home.

And so suddenly I was home bound for the rest of the week. I don’t mind working from home but I felt so guilty and bad because I have been so absent for the whole month from illness. I fell into this lethargic slump and was unproductive and useless all week. I was filled with self loathing.

I was pleasantly surprised however to receive great feedback from my bosses, even invited to our corporate box as a reward, which I had to sadly reject because it clashed with our staycation. In highsight I’m glad I didn’t accept, imagine coughing away in a corporate box with my boss and his wife 😓. I’ve gotten so much more recognition and best of all, feedback on my performance in the past six months over the last 4 years in my previous role. I guess that’s why a change was sorely needed.

Praying that I get well before the long weekend, I’m sooo fedup with my lousy immune system and my general health, and I know I have no one to blame by myself. Sigh I hope June is a better month please 🙏🏻
