So it has been a week since I fell sick and have been on leave from work. I was on my own for a couple of days until my sister brought my parents back to the apartment (she has to leave town for work for a the weekend) and then it was the three of us but my mother had recovered quite quickly. We’ve been resting at home and avoiding other people, making and eating simple meals and getting the basics delivered with avoiding contact.

I’ve cut my coffee drinking to just 2 large cups a day though and I’ve been taking my medicines and cough syrup. I don’t eat much food but find that I can enjoy an apple as usual. I usually get up at around 9:30 am or 10 am and after brushing my teeth and washing my face, I get coffee and relax in front of my laptop for football news. I then have a light breakfast and relax until lunch time. I will try to blog or keep myself occupied by watching vlogs or music on Youtube.

Post lunch I will get back in bed and watch tv and or nap. Evening I will have some biscuits and coffee and do inhalation and continue to entertain myself until dinner time. Post dinner and medicine, I will continue to be online until I feel tired enough to lie down and watch some more tv before falling asleep. And the cycle starts again.
