Mooloo's little tapestry of life, 2016

Savvy_sewing

Gosh I'm really not well!
I struggled. Slowly, one job after the other until 1.30 and I had to give up.
Was back in bed by 2pm
Only up to get DGD from after school club.
We are home, she doesn't want to go to Brownies anymore.
But I have no voice, no energy and to be honest it's one less thing for me to have to deal with.
I have to open up the shop tomorrow but staff is in at 12 so I will probably do mornings and let her do afternoons.
I am feeling very strange in my head, sort of light headed, yet thick in the forehead.
I hope tomorrow that it's back to normal.

Hope you feel better soon . It really is nasty and long lasting . I have always been one for carrying on and fighting through things but it just floored me .
Hope you get some decent sleep when possible . I know you're on abs
but I finally took beechams all in one (the plain white ones not the multicoloured . I react to a lot of medication but they seemed ok and I felt less wooly headed and weird after a few doses . The paracetamol didn't do much at all .
Take care and keep warm .

Paracetamol might as well be chalk!
I think I feel better and then I start to move around and I feel about as energetic as a slug!
The head is definitely strange. It's like a dull headache, with light and heavy feelings, and my vision is not right.
The coughing hurts still and makes me gag. Along with a muscle workout that the muscles don't want.
But dispite saying that I do feel better then I did.
My plan is a little more of what I did yesterday. Do the school run and pop in to work. Do a few small, easier jobs, and then come home at lunchtime.
It will save 2 hours of staff time today, and every £ saved is necessary until we are bringing it in.
I just hope that the shop side is busy and starts bringing in money on a bigger scale.

DGD has decided to drop Brownies, which I think is a shame, but she is like a bomb in a cyclone so I'm not surprised.

Time to move.

And when is your doctors appointment Ms Mooloo ?
You know this has gone on too long and you need to be checked out and possibly get antibiotics to get rid of/stave off any secondary infections......don't you !!!

One of the things about self employment - you can't afford to be ill so you never "wait for it to clear up" without checking there isn't a faster way !!

Get well soon xxx

She has already been to the doctors last week and is on antibiotics already

Yes I went twice to the doctors and am on Antibiotics.
I am taking it very easy, I promise.
I'm just making sure the work doesn't back up, or get missed.
I do the most important and have put a brake on the non urgent jobs.

Morning. I think I am finally on the mend. I slept better and coughed less.
I'm beginning to eat more, and my mind is back on the job and the future etc and what I need to do next.
I think it's going to probably take me another week to be my complete self again though. I have a long way to go.
I have a deadline of 12th to be back properly as Staff is off to Gibralter for her holidays and her 69th Birthday, so I will be needed to work every day by the following week.

I spoke too soon.
Exhausted. Managed until 12 and had to throw in the towel. Need a rest until I go and get DGD from school at 3pm

stressed.mum

Try to rest as much as you can Mooloo, hopefully you will start to feel better soon xxx

I was in bed by 8pm
Downside meant I was awake between 3-5 tossing and turning.
I don't need to be up until around 7 but I've tummy ache so that woke me again!
I only need to get through until 12.
I have two coats that need zips in that my other sewer is not confident to do, and they have been in the shop the longest now.
I don't have staff until 12 so have to do the shop 10-12.
Anything over will be a bonus.
