Recovering boy

Well this week isn't a great one with contracting flu like symptoms so I've a rather sore throat, blocked up tubes and sneezing a fair bit, feeling generally rather groggy which is rather annoying to say the least,

That means more sedentary indoor activities like reading this months Monster Fun which came through the letter box yesterday with its new ghoulish Punk Rock band cartoon strip series which is quite a hoot apart from the Phoenix and Beano, sole survivor of the comics we read as boys.

It kind of remainded me a bit of my junior school days where I tended to pick any and all infections going aided in the last year by a new building with aior conditioning which acted like a great bug speader picking up, warming and transmitting it across every classroom.

That tended to result in me having a few days off every school term beyond the usual chicken pox and that where I'd be parked in bed with the radio on, usally BBC Radio 1 or 3 for the Lunchtime Concert unless I was allowed to come downstairs for Newsround and Childrens tv for a bit before tea time.

There are times when you'd sooner have those routines not least being cared for when unwell 

Back but in the Sick Bay

It may not be officially Ice Cream Season but with me that's an all year round thing which means it is as well the freezer is well stocked with white chocolate magnums apart from helping with my sore throat.

While I was away some bright spark decided to come even though they still had a bad cold and sadly I've been laid low as it were with it ever since I got home snezing, having nose bleeds and suffering from a very bad cough so much so I've had to get some new linctus cough mixture in.

Thus I do feel rather rubbish and achy at the moment which takes a bit of the shine from what that week was like like making aeroplanes and being totally little which all helps with me.

I have some new headphones as an older pair developed a condition where the plastic in the headband and earpads is breaking down getting stuck on my skin which is probably something to do with plasticizers

They sound really good playing my tape of Foreigner 4 and listening to some YouTube channels.

Thoughts on the week

The good news of the week is Edward is back having had his account pulled without any warning and with no flagged content whatsoever which while I missed him also showed I did not feel lost without him being around because I knew how to handle myself.

Do you know what? It's just been sleeting up here with humongous big chunks of white stuff falling down although it doesn't look like it's for sticking around at least on flat places lower down from some of neighbouring towns that tend to see more what stuff than we do although some say they roll downbank sledging toward us as the gradients are high.

I love terms like gradients, kind reminds me of geography teachers going on all about various land features like knolls and even had us reading ordinance survey maps as that was something apparently they had to teach us between spells of acting the goat. Mind you you're never without mapping if you can use a paper one and a compass rather than relying on GPS an that.

I wasn't too good Wednesday, feeling rather tired so I needed me lucazade and bed rest as much as really detest doing nothing so I had to stay here with me radio on quiet for company head on pillow drinking that stuff except for a bite to eat and obviously go the loo.

Thing was I had PLANS like starting on reading me copy of the Jungle Book with Mowgli the mancub and that so they were put on hold and remove a couple of worn shirts from my wardrobe apart from generally doing it out cos I don't know about you sometimes stuff can stay there forever regardless of condition like on of me old snake clasp belts.

I did get out a little yesterday for a walk which was good and all being well I'll have me footie strip on later on this week all being well for a kick about

A recovering boy

This week was not a good week for me to be honest because I had been away the week before and had returned with a fair number of bites from midges, horseflies and indeed tics from being on grass and also going for a couple of walks.
I had a large rash on one arm from a number of bites, a couple of bites on the other plus a series on both legs and ankle area that did not appear to be subsiding.
On Saturday evening while doing some stuff on the computer, I started to feel very hot, struggling to breathe and feeling very sick to the point I had to stop what I was doing in a hurry.
Coming downstairs, I felt my body feeling crushed almost as if I was about to die any second.
It was horrible.
I forced several cup fulls of water down me thinking it may force some air through me and spent a good length of time sat by a bowl feeling sick and after a couple of hours had a paracetamol to lower my temperature before going to bed.
I prayed and prayed to God that I was a good boy, strong and was able to fight anything including this because I have the fight in me to protect and stand up for myself and as a CatBoy I have nine lives that can save me.
By about six o clock in the morning  I felt a bit better and decided I would get medical help the next day and obediently follow their advice and present as the boy in his school shorts too.
I got examined and I am being treated for Lyme Disease having been given penicillin based antibiotics to take for a week so I have to be good and take every single one.
I will need to rest as they make me feel yukky as they fight the infection so I will be in my uniform on the bed reading or listening to music as I recover.
