Here again

I was all set to do a witty and intelligent post about....stuff, but to be quite honest I feel rotten and so I can't be bothered.

That is probably overplaying the sympathy card a bit, I don't feel that bad, but I don't feel that great either. Certainly not great enough to summon the mental energy required for witty and intelligent.

Unfortunately my head coldyness from yesterday afternoon has continued to increase and so now I feel a bit like I have a head stuffed with cotton wool. Not really conducive to active thought, the cough is still being an absolute pain as well.

Needless to say I stayed in bed this morning. I got up for a bit to gauge how I was feeling and then returned to bed. I am of two minds as to whether I should have kept staying in bed and not come into work. The jury is still out on that one.

One upside to staying in bed is that I have since heard what the swim set was this morning and I am not particularly sorry that I missed it. 10 x 400m, a classic Newsome 'red mist' set. It is not my favourite thing. I certainly wouldn't have managed in my current state.

At the moment I am trying to not get too frustrated by this whole thing. The most frustrating part of all this is the feeling that I am here again. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was last on here writing about staying positive while fighting off a cold. In reality I think it was a little while ago, but it doesn't feel very long ago from where I am sitting. Still nothing can be done about it now, other than working on getting better again. Getting frustrated won't get me feeling good any sooner. For now I just have to focus on resting up and staying hydrated.

Every time I get sick I tell myself that in a week I will be training properly again and this will all fade into being a distant, annoying, memory. I know that is true, after all I can't really remember the details of when I was last sick, but at the moment that isn't helping me feel much better.
