Something a little bit different today because I’m feeling poorly and I need to be excused from my usual motivational ramblings.

“Poorly,” I hear you cry. “Whatever’s the matter?”

Well, I have the nastiest runny-nose cold that has ever dared to exist in my universal reality. My head is pounding, neck aching, throat hurting, eyes streaming and as for my nose, well I think it’s still in the middle of my face…I don’t actually know because it went numb after the one hundred and thirty eighth blowing on tissues which disintegrate as soon as snot touches them.

I couldn’t bear cooking tonight so I resorted to a home delivery pizza from Paco up the road. I’m not suggesting that Paco’s pizzas taste more like cardboard than food, it’s just that usually I eat pretty healthy grub and pizza falls down the ‘rubbish’ hole.

So now I don’t only have a cold, but I also have a mashed up ham and pineapple pizza digesting in my intestines (or stomach…whatever…who cares).

As I write this whore of a post I’m debating what liquid to drink before hitting the sack. It has been suggested that I try tea with lemon, Frenadol, or something dangerous-sounding begining with the letter I. I would try a combination of all three, but I’m worried that’ll cause an explosion, so I’ll ignore them all and stick to a good old fashioned hot lemon and honey.

I’ll let you know if I’m still alive in the morning.

Apologies for the general haphazardness of this post. Writing with a cold isn’t an easy task. The amount of snot in my head outnumbers the amount of words by ten to one. Bang goes my hour of book editing tonight!

You’ll hear from me when I can breathe again.

Achoooooo….

With Love,
