I would love to be saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed my week off. Oh, how I would very much love to be saying that. I would love to be telling you that I filled it successfully with lots of action, lots of fun, and lots of general “doing stuff”. Yes, I would love to be telling you all about it. However, this would all be lies! Lies I tell you! And the reason? Because for the last few days (in fact most of the last week), I have been suffering with the worst cold I’ve probably ever had. At times I felt like my head was going to pop. I have struggled to hear things, I have had to use endless supplies of tissues, and have made my nose all chapped and sore and (dare I say it?) ….. crusty. Ugh!
So, no, my week off has not been the fruitful, productive week off that I hoped it would be. Instead it has been miserable and boring. I just wish I’d had more energy, more umph, more zest, and less cold. That would’ve been lovely.
The end of the week was okay though, I guess. Yesterday I went to meet my old work friends from my previous job as it was one of the girl’s leaving drinks. She’s a lovely girl, and she’s now going out with one of the guys who works there too, and they make a really lovely sweet couple. I like to think I had something to do with them getting together, as I kind of told the girl that the guy liked her some time ago, and it all kind of led to them actually going out in the end. Awww.
There wasn’t many people out, but it was good to catch up with the few who were, and despite getting a bit tipsy, I had a nice time.
Tonight Alex has gone out to see a band in Manchester, Sons & Daughters. He texted me earlier to say he was stood next to them, so I urged him to get talking to them, especially as he’d gone on his own. I would’ve gone had we been organised with money and babysitters, but it was all a last minute decision for him seeing as he’d won £10 on his football bet today.
So it’s back to work for me on Monday night, and I am not at all happy about it, but needs must, and again, it’s not forever.
