First Monday of March and feeling poorly

Yuck, yuck, yuck!!

Am battling with an upset stomach which arrived on Sunday and has kept me home from work. The worse seems to be over and managed to catch on some missed sleep from last night. Never been very good at being ill (is this unusual?) and although it may mean a four day working week this Monday is pretty much a write off now. Dressing gown for most of Sunday and seems that Monday will be the same apart from a quick trip to the shops to get supplies in.

Another colleague is out as his wife was taken to hospital Sunday and he was waiting for her to be discharged so only a skeleton staff (3 out of 5) are in the office holding the fort today. No doubt they will cope without us though.

Have a pretty easy week ahead apart from some birthday drinks on Thursday the 05.03.09 in a good London pub. My birthday (34 years young this year) is on the 04.03.09 but a good friend (who shares a lot of my London friends) is on the 05.03.09 so a joint celebration can be had. I have always found birthdays a bit of a non-event and would rather that they just passed without fuss but good to see some friends I guess. Have given family and friends strict orders not to buy anything as I find myself running out of room in our badly laid out one-bedroom flat. I know present giving is thoughtful and selfless but it is best saved for youngsters and special birthdays (30th, 40th, etc....) in my opinion.

Still enjoying writing this blog, although having been asleep for much of the day I find myself a little short of things to say. Perhaps inspiration will come later in the day or perhaps this is all the musing for a Monday?
