I went to Durham on Saturday (blog to follow soon) and on the way I somehow developed a bit of a sore throat. Wasn’t too bad so I didn’t think too much of it. During the weekend is got steadily worse and by the time I was on the train back last night I could barely speak in more than a whisper. I was scared to get the bus cos the driver wouldn’t be able to hear me when I asked for a ticket, so I rang my dad and whispered for him to pick me up at the station if possible. I started coughing so horribly which was so painful but I couldn’t breathe unless I coughed. But it hurt to breathe anyway.

I waited in the cold and I came home and ate some dinner. I had a shower but I was so tired having had about 3 hours sleep the night before, so I went to bed at 9pm. I rang Bob but I sounded so horrific it was a quick ‘hi, goodnight’ and I fell straight asleep.

Today was work was thankfully quiet, but my throat is still horrendous. And now I’ve developed the worst cold as well. So yes, to sum up: it hurts to breathe, I constantly need to cough but it’s so fucking painful to cough, I can barely talk above a whisper, and even then I still sound like an old dying man, I have a terrible cold and even though I bought some super-soft tissues, when you use about 50 million of them your nose is still bloody sore.

I feel most unattractive.

I don’t want to call in sick to work tomorrow.
