In sickness

It was a heavy day at work today, and not a very good day for that. In between work commitments, I put my hands on my knees and tried to catch my breath. My legs burned, my back ached, and there was a pain in my chest.

I drove to the servo, buying a sweet beverage and a Mars Bar, which was just as well, because it was a long, tiring drive home. Mars Bars are comforting stuff. When you’re thinking about stuff and stuff.

I came home and my legs burned, my back ached, and there was a pain in my chest. I put my hands on my knees and tried to catch my breath.

There are more than a thousand different strains of influenza, and different strains affect people in different ways. You ache, your head throbs, your nose leaks, and your general feeling of malaise makes you indifferent to everything around you.

    I have heard that soluble paracetamol in coffee (the real kind, not decaf) is great for getting over influenza.
