I have a cold... It appeared in the middle of the night from nowhere & landed nicely in the middle of my head. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so any bug just loves me. I am the Mecca for all bugs as they can "take over the world" that is my immune system. My office lovingly tell me I "look like shit", yet I thought I'd made an effort as I have an ECG & I'm not sure what the correct dress code is!
Somehow I managed to sneeze so hard I split the crotch of my new tights (don't want to look cheap in case the bobbling on the trusty old opaques are observed..) & my tights turn into chaps! Chaps that chaff the inside of my thighs as I can NEVER put tights on without twisting them!
I arrive for my ECG with the very lovely male nurse, who then asks if I am wearing tights... Happy that I obviously have the correct ECG dress code, I say "yes! I am!" Grinning at him... So I am asked to take them off!! Off?!?? To those that have never had to remove & after the test put back on "chaps tights" it's not easy & I think he wondered what was taking so long!
The sneezes throughout the day made the hole NICE & big, & ensured the draft & my cold had me feeling rather chilly at the end of work, so I thought I would have a nice hot bath with Olbas oil... However, the tank was having none of it & a puddle was in the bottom of the bath before the hot tap was the same temperature as the cold. Having an ample bottom I figured water displacement would ensure the water would at least reach my ears... But no.... I live near the Somerset levels & my belly rose from the water like Glastonbury Tor (I put my finger in my belly button to check the significance) overlooking the floods of February. The plus side of this was that every time I sneezed I didn't cause a tidal wave to soak the bathroom carpet!
