Lesson Nineteen - Moody, Sick and Lonely

I woke up around 10:30am, which is pretty early for me lately since I am on holiday. I had work at 12pm and so I took some more Codral. When I got to work I was in such a good mood. I don't know why but I was feeling really good. I was actually very enthusiastic selling things to customers today. Even my colleagues were quick to point that out. Usually I am quite cynical and a bit of an ass at times (but only to customers who are pushy, rude or annoying).

Lesson - Soldier on with Codral, soldier on, soldier on.

I felt good for most of the day. However the effects soon wore off and I felt like absolute shit of the earth. My eyes were watery and my nose was stuffed. I asked to go home early because I was just not up to scratch. I got home and have been lying in bed ever since.

I hate being sick, it really does play on the mood sometimes. When I am sick I feel unhappy. There's just nothing much to do. I remember when I had the chickenpox back in 2004, I absolutely hated it. I felt a lot worse than I do now. I was so lonely, I felt like a prisoner in my own house. Thankfully I had my best mate keep me company at times. I miss the bastard, he's up in Cairns. Haven't heard from him much lately. Hope he's all right.

Lesson - Misery loves company, but loneliness loves it more ironically.

My other mate wanted to do something at around 11pm tonight. I was feeling like utter shit, but I still wanted to hang out with him. He wanted to play pool, but I couldn't. I really should be in bed and not be going out because I am just too sick. If I stay home all day tomorrow, then I should be okay for work on Tuesday. Here's hoping that I am right about that.

Take care of yourselves.
