Well, the sore throat and cough have not progressed too badly, but the fever is not good - I keep oscilating between shivering and overheating. I’m drip feeding myself panadol to try to keep it under control. Work tomorrow is not going to be happening. I just wish we could text in sick, for some reason actually having to pick up the phone and hold it while I say a few words seems like a major chore I have to work my way up to today.

Edit: writing out the above comment was enough to psych myself up, calling in sick has been completed successfully.
