The cold is now in full swing so it looks like the immunosuppressants I’m on are doing what they’re meant to. It’s good because, along with the steroids, they’re keeping my symptoms at bay, but bad because they open me up to every other infection out there. I just hope I can get rid of this one soon so I can feel better about being back at work.

Speaking of which, today was ok but a lot more tiring than yesterday. We had a lot more customers in today despite the weather being quite miserable. It didn’t help there were only two of us in the whole day. Tomorrow should be better as there will be three of us in.

I’m going to try for an early night again tonight as last night I didn’t get to sleep until two in the morning because my cough kept me awake. I’ve found honey and lemon juice mixed with hot water helps soothe it a little so I’ll try that again before bed along with the cough syrup I’ve been taking today too.

I had a good first day back. I’m tired but not overly so but I should sleep better tonight.
Work is going to be busier tomorrow though so it might not be as easy as today. Still, if I’m busy, the time will fly by.
Best part? No stomach aches or rushes to the bathroom.
Feeling positive!

I’m on my way into work after more than two weeks off sick. I didn’t sleep all that well last night, so I might be a bit tired come the afternoon, but I’ll do what I can. I’ve got a fortisip with me to have once I get there so I’ll have a little nutritional boost to help me get through the morning, and I’ve got a homemade, gluten-free lunch with me to take my afternoon meds with as well as a bottle of water to keep me going. I’m all set, let’s try and have a good day.

I had a nice day today; did some cooking, ate some chocolate, met up with a friend who I haven’t seen in ages, and had an all round good food day. Looking forward to going back to work (sort of) so I can get back into a normal routine. I’ll be shattered by the end of it but I’m determined to have a good first day back.

So, tomorrow I go back to work. I’m half looking forward to it but also not incase something goes wrong and I start to feel ill again. I’m sure I’ll be ok, I just need to try and not get stressed and only do what I can.
Today, I will be making gluten-free brownies, and I might even venture to my local craft shop to see if I can get some more beads. It’s up a hill so I think it’ll be a good indication of whether I’m back to normal or not. We’ll see. I just need to get out of bed.
