Yuck

I've felt very yuck the past few days. Extremely yuck. All of my muscles have been sore, I haven't had any strength, my throat has been revolting against me every time I try and swallow and I've been burning up, whilst freezing at the same time.

I opened the door and in flew Enza.

It hasn't been pleasant. Luckily I was in very pleasant surrounds. I was up in Rockhampton with Ria's family and they were very accommodating of my diseased self. When it first hit me I was actually in Yeppoon, and I guess if you have to be sick somewhere, well, looking out over Keppel Bay and the two islands probably isn't the worst possible place to be.

So yeah, the past few nights have been pretty horrendous. I can't really remember the last time I've felt this unwell. My skin has been very hot too the touch, but I've felt cold inside. I haven't been sweating or anything which made it a bit weird. I'm pretty sure I know where I picked it up, there was a little boy coughing and spluttering on me on Thursday and I was pretty sure that I'd have to be pretty lucky to avoid getting what he had. I guess I wasn't that lucky.

I think that I'm starting to come good now. I'd already organised to take the Monday off work, as I was flying back in on Tuesday morning, but I've ended up taking two more days off. I've needed them. Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow.

It couldn't really have come at a worse time, well I guess it could have, if it had come next week I would have been more screwed, but it still sucks. I've got tickets to the Kaiser Chiefs tomorrow night with Ria, and then this weekend is Splendour in the Grass. I guess I'll just have to take a little bit more care of myself this weekend.

Apart from getting sick my trip to Rocky was great. It was nice being able to have a shower and not have to think about how many minutes I'd been under the water for. And the lack of traffic was nice. We had a great lunch on Sunday overlooking the river, and I was astounded as to how quiet the restaurant was. Oh well.

That's about it. I'm going to go and drink some more water and go and lie down again.
