Ill

I left work early yesterday feeling ill - headache, nauseous, and a very sore right ear. The ear thing was kicked off by wearing an in-ear headset for an hour-long conference call followed by another conference call straight afterwards. The headache and nausea just seemed to invite themselves in and take residence.

After a nap I felt better, but then this morning I felt dodgy again, so called in to work and asked if I could work from home.

Spent about half an hour trying to log my PC into the Unum VPN, involving a call to the IT Helpdesk and more headaches. By the time I'd logged in and emailed work I was feeling sick as a dog. Ended up spending the entire day lying down, trying to not throw up.

My wonderful neighbours stepped up to the plate as ever - Mike was stuck in traffic trying to get home, so they fed the children, and delivered soup, bread and egg custard to our house.

Feeling much less sick now - the wonders of Dramamine. But still not quite right.

Don't want to have more time off - I have too much work to do!

By the way, I forgot to mention that I spent most of the day asleep in a cupboard. I'll explain more later...
