There I was waking up yesterday morning ready and eager (well maybe a little eager) to get into the Christmas spirit - if only I knew what was to come.
Within 10 minutes of waking up I began to feel very woozy and dizzy, I then proceeded to be very ill, then get the shakes, then nearly pass out, quickly followed by spuing my guts up - Mmmm nice!
By midday I'd slept for another 3 hours and decided to try and get the Christmas shopping list if we were to stand any chance of having Christmas dinner - miraculously I managed it. By yesterday evening in addition to still feeling very sickly, I began to sneeze, feel achy and get a stonking headache - excellent - a cold to boot!
This morning I I was ill again but somehow managed to go out and get some last minute items. I then return home to find a big pool of water on the office floor (I work from home) about 3 feet from my new Powermac G5. The obvious panic ensues and I manage to move furniture out and soak up the water; I'm still crossing my fingers what has leaked doesn't come through the ceiling downstairs.
I know both I and others have had worse 24 hours in their lives, but I feel so mentally drained I'm finding it hard not to jump on a plane and f'off somewhere.
The real issue here seems to be how my life is consumed by panic, worry and what now seems like to complete inability to enjoy it. I somehow have to find a way round this feeling and begin to enjoy life again, maybe easier said then done.
Oh.. and Merry Christmas to all
