Dear Universe

I would like to feel properly well, please. Properly well. Not this half way between well and unwell, with a slight advantage to the unwell.

A head under the duvet day

Today I woke up feeling like poo, and I was due to spend an entire day in a course called "Influencing people". Couldn't face it, so I stayed in bed and watched Gilmore Girls and snoozed. And then I had an hour-long phone call with Leigh and some dinner, and now I'm watching The Great British Bake Off and feeling more equipped to deal with tomorrow.

I don't know how much of my headache, snotty nose and sleepiness was psychological, but fuck it: I'm going to take my mental health\physical health day and go with it.
