Earthlady's Journal, 13 Feb 12

A difficult day at work because I'm still feeling quite unwell, sneezing, snuffling, runny eyes and coughing. Our after work meeting lasted over two hours and when I got home I sat in my thick winter coat for half an hour in my lovely warm living room but I still feel cold. I'm just having a snack for dinner (childhood comfort food - boiled egg and soldiers) and I'll be in bed as early as I can.

My weight's up again on the scale this morning, just 300gr, and this seems to be becoming a discernible pattern - a new low followed by an upward fluctuation, like a taste of things to come. Hopefully we'll be back to yesterday's weight or lower by Saturday.

Still no exercise - I feel so tired and sapped of energy so when a friend offered me a lift home after the meeting I accepted. On days like this I give thanks for good friends and kind people; they make the day bearable even though I've been a bit like a bear with a sore head, despite my best intentions to stay positive and not show how bad I'm feeling. Hoping I'll feel a lot better tomorrow and if I'm not better by Wednesday I think I really might have to consider going to a doctor!
