Bugged


Just emerging from under the doona where I've been lying in a moribund state since Friday. MOTH's bug sunk it's vicious claws into me & it's been a torrid time. Thank you for all your kind, sweet messages - what a lovely bunch of Hedgies you are. I'm still fragile, so work will have to cope without me for a couple more days. MOTH's been very guilt-ridden attentive, but he still owes me big-time for passing this evil thing my way. A day snuggled up by the fire with the Kleenex, paracetamol & Ventolin as my close companions is calling me.

    Dear Millie, glad to hear you're finally on the mend. A day spent resting in front of the fireplace sounds like the perfect 'medicine'.

    oh dear I hope you get better soon. I have been very lucky this winter I hope it is because I am fitter than last year but just when you think you have escaped something can strike you down!

    Poor you Millie, I hope you feel better soon. I am home with my two boys who sound similar to you, the poor darlings.

    Oh you poor pet. I empathize. I still have something growing in my lungs (had it since February)... tried every drug on the market and still cough and fevers. It has literally stopped my life this year. New specialist next week. Get better soon Miss M and I'm glad MOTH is hovering. Hope he spoils you a bit. A-M xx

    Glad you have at least emerged from the bed. Don't rush getting back to work or doing too much - I did and got my bug back a second time! Keep MOTH busy refilling that hottie.

    Hi Millie,

    You poor dear, hard to escape it sometimes and seems to be a lot of flu about over here.
    Glad Moth is caring for you, and hope that you feel better, dear friend.
    Enjoy your rest.

    Hugs
