After a few days off work sick, and hoping I’d just get better, I finally realised I wasn’t so I bit the bullet and went to see the doctor… Now as a nurse myself (not a “real nurse” I’m a psychiatric nurse so I can’t tell you about your dodgy knee or your Mum’s sciatica), I hate going to the GP, especially for anything I suspect might be “viral”, ie, no point giving me antibiotics as it just clears up on its own etc. But after four days off, I wasn’t feeling better, in fact if anything I was feeling worse…

One GP appointment later I have been given a load of antibiotics for a chest infection and signed off from work for a few more day… So my day looks like it’s going to be spent on the couch under a duvet, with trash mags, a book (the rather excellend “One Day” by David Nicholls – which I’ll be reviewing), and my latest film from LoveFilm (The Killer Inside Me – I’m not in a RomCom mood right now… although I do want to see Bridesmaids!)

I also have these two monkeys to keep me company…

Renfield making herself comfortable on my lap...

Don’t be fooled by that innocent look on her face by the way. About twenty seconds after I took that snap she was cleaning her unmentionables with a very smug look on her face…

Coco-Pops hiding under the washing stand...

For some reason Coco wasn’t feeling very photogenic today. She loves sitting uder the washing waiting to pounce on Ren…

How’s your day looking?
