    No exercises for me today. Why? I have a cold, finally I’ve succumbed to the thing which has gone through the whole family. Easily done when your partner coughs wetly all over you! In the kitchen, no less. It was as disgusting as it sounds. Also my MIL has apparently had the same thing and keeps coming in to our place while I’m at work, coughing and touching things and dropping in cheap NQR junk food for the children (because that’s what sick kids need🙄) spreading more germs around. Didn’t learn anything from the pandemic did we. Fuck them both. No, I’m just the only breadwinner, supporting 5 people with my wage and paying the bills for the entire house, her part and ours. People are stupid.

    Luckily I have an awesome hoodie (thankyou dear friend 💜) to wear in bed whilst running like a tap. I’m not good at being a sick person, I haven’t been sick since 2017 when I had glandular fever. Please forgive me being a grumpy bum. I just get crotchety when preventable things aren’t prevented.

      I hope someone is taking care of you and bringing your soup and patting you gently!

      You sound like you are in such a frustrating situation with an unsupportive and thoughtless partner. Hope you feel better soon and that he gets a clue.

      Aww I’m so sorry to hear.

      I know this isn’t going to solve much or anything but it might help.

      Obviously plenty of fluids and rest and picking up some Armaforce and taking it can help get rid of it quicker.

      It’s essentially olive leaf extract and some other natural stuff concentrated in tablet form. Might be a little pricey though but you can ask for it over the counter at chemist warehouse.
