So I travelled back home from my second skiing trip to Whistler this year feeling pretty rough, looked in the mirror yesterday and thought, mmm, something’s not right here. Now many of you may suggest that this is a daily occurrence in my household but this time something was really wrong. Not only was I feeling very unwell but my back was spattered with little red lumps.
Strangely I was only thinking the other week that I must be due to get chicken pox at some point in my adult life and it seems that now is the time. 2 days later I’m now plastered with irritating little spots and the only thing taking my mind off them is the fluey achiness and nausea of associated illness.
So basically I’m posting for a bit of sympathy here! Should be a couple of weeks until I’m back on form so it looks like I get a month of unexpected absence from work! Having not been off ill from work for over a year now, maybe I’m making up for lost time.
Has been excellent to chat to my sympathetic friends, family and colleagues today. In return I’ll try and send a couple of nasty pox photos but only to selective recipients as I don’t like spreading blackmail material ;-)
Anyway, when I’m feeling better, I’ll post an entry describing the awesome skiing experience that I had in the last two weeks. In the meantime, keep sending the fruit baskets ;-)
