Warning: sick moany person here
I’m sick 
I have a sore head, a sore stomach, and a really sore throat. I can’t breathe properly, I can hardly swallow at all, and every inch of my body aches. I had a feverish night (and not in a good way), and I’ve been dozing on and off all morning, trying to get a temperature that isn’t either sweat-pouring-off or shivering-cold.
I’d have phoned in sick if I could, but of course I can’t. So Scratchy phoned in instead (think he’s taking a flexi-day). There was just no way I could have coped with the kids this morning. He brings me Toby when he needs fed, and otherwise he’s been wandering about with Toby in the Storchie and trying to get the others to tidy their rooms (without success).
I’ve had a cup of tea, but I don’t think I could swallow anything solid - not even the minestrone soup that Scratchy dug out of the freezer.
Going back under the covers now.

Urgh, poor you
Max never does that; if i make him stay at home because i’m ill he insists on using holiday
Wow, I hope you feel better soon. It sounds awful. Have you tried hot honey and lemon (juice of about half a lemon, big heaped tablespoon of honey, all stirred into hot water)? I find it wonderful for a sore throat. Garlic’s good too (but not in the drink!)
I hope you feel better soon too, sounds horrible
Steve would only ever stay home if I were dead, I think.
Yuck, hope you feel better soon. Big yay for Scratchy taking the day off.
BTW you do know you don’t just have to eat panakes on Shrove Tuesday don’t you, you don’t *have* to wait til next year
Sorry to heat that Deb, sending healing waves your way (not that they’ll do any good but the thought is there).
hope you’re feeling better by now.
Oh no, poor you! Hope you feel a bit better tomorrow
C came home once when I had some inner ear thing and literally couldn’t stand up without falling over. But now he can work at home mostly if nec. which is nice.
