Cranky Poorly Pixie

Yes I've finally got that lurgy that has been lurking.

Yesterday at work was hard - felt rough and the chaps in the team sat next to us were trying to get me to see sense and go home from about 2.30-3PM. I left at 5.30.

As those who know me will be aware my team was relocated this year. Whilst down in sunny Berkshire we were a team of 7, now we are 3 + manager. 1 chap was on holiday yesterday and today so despite feeling rough this morning I went in. Felt guilty at not coming in and leaving 1 + manager to deal with our 4 clients alone. So you can imagine how I felt when the other chap calls me at 9.15 to say he "has a fever" (he was fine yesterday) and isn't coming in but may be in that afternoon. I was so pleased that I had made the effort to struggle in when other CBA. He didn't turn up as I expected.

I did leave early (2.30) as my head had gone, nearly crashed driving home as I couldn't concerntrate, my reactions where slow and I was tired from the last couple of sleepless nights of cold filled sleep. So when I did get home frezing cold despite wearing 3 layers and having the heating on all the way, I went to bed. I woke up at 7.30.

I won't be going in tomorrow unless I feel 100%, driving when not well isn't worth the risk.

I guess my club runs and long run are also cancelled for this week as the lurgy is on my chest making me cough, have a sore throat (and head ache) and feel lifeless despite eating loads. At least it is still before the traditional 16 weeks to FLM training plan starts. Ok so it's 5 (or less?) to Helsby but I've done 11m so that should be OK.

Now I need more sleep so nite folks!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
