slycatI took a day off ill today for the first time in at least a year. I think it may be flu but I'm always careful with using that term as what I think to be flu turns out to be a bad cold.
I felt my worse last night and still felt bad this morning so I made the awkward phone call into work to say I would not be in. Why is it even when you are genuinely ill, it's still so difficult to call and say you're ill? Anyways, I've not done much today as a result. Managed to keep my symptoms at a minimum with the help of Beechams Flu Plus capsules and Strepsils.
Spose I should mention that I went to a LondonFur meet on Saturday which was boring to say the least. I felt rather detached from it all and generally kept to myself. Ended up hanging out with Stray, Shinji, Dresen and KurtBatz in the Trocadero and then Namco. We found ourselves sitting at the Namco bar saying how fucking bored we were... One highlight was the Air Trix skateboard game. Dresen who hadn't played it before managed to find out some special moves on it and told me how to do them which was cool :) Went home around half 8 with lack of anything better to do.
On Monday it was Ruin's birthday so we went down to Westminster station to meet other furs including Nanaki who's birthday it also was before going off to a "Sci-Fi Themed" pub. I had somehow lost my monthly travelcard at London Bridge and so had to buy a day travelcard. I was quite pissed off and very confused at this as I havnt a clue how it could have got lost...
Anyway, after a walk, we got to this pub and had a bit of a crap start due to some townie playing pool shouting at us for standing in the way of him playing his game. Bhav had taken the foresight to bring a chocolate cake, plates and forks which was a really great idea. However, again I began to zone out and remained rather quiet as I did at the fur meet. It may have been due to the oncoming cold/flu - I don't know.
Not sure if I will go into work tomorrow but most likely due to my own guilt, i will anyways despite how I feel. I'll just need to ensure that I take enough pills to take me through the day. I'll be off to bed now, gonna read more of The Stand and finish my blackcurrant Lemsip.
