Some meds can turn your gastric juice purple.

As long as it isn't blood from your digestive tract.
 
A friend was laid low by Norovirus Christmas Eve to the 28th. Apparently it's "going around", which doesn't help anyone, but Y'KNOW.
 
Anyway, Mr Sheena has come down with the FESTIVE GRIM, so I'm avoiding the flat for a bit and have come into my office.

It also means we're yet to take the decorations down and it's making me ITCHY. I want clean lines again.
 
Norovirus seemed to peak here in November. At one point, a quarter of my team was off with it. Thankfully I avoided it, thanks at least partly no doubt to my aversion to going into the office.

Although I imagine there's a good chance we'll get another peak with all the festive mingling this last week.
 
Ms Ron has spent most of our trip away ill, although I don't think going out drinking cocktails and finishing off the accidentally smuggled cocaine helped her with recovery.

I've just been either pissed or mildly hungover for a solid week. Looking forward to getting #fit and #healthy in the #newyear
 
A mate of mine has had noro two christmases running, so hasn't spent any time with her younf kid, which is brutal.

I've been so thankful this year to be disease free (so far). I've lost 4 out of the last 5 Christmases to REALLY bad colds/ flu/ Covid. Considering how much I love Christmas and how much effort I put in, it's felt disastrously unfair and it's been a pleasant surprise to be fine and dandy.
 
Dreading finally getting noro. Not had it yet, touch wood, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time

Got yet another runny nose head cold though, just after shaking one off :/

Norovirus got me too. I’ve been shitting a bucket of pot pourri approximately every 20 minutes for the last three days. Ever so much fun.

I had it in February and it was horrific. Then I had it AGAIN in April and it was the worst I’ve ever had - I lost 9 kg! In December I could feel it was trying to enter my body again and I had very mild symptoms but I think by this point my body knew what to do and kept it at bay.

I miss Covid when I could wear a face mask and spray Dettol at anyone who came near me without question. Whole thing fell apart when Jayne at work got in the line of fire and was temporarily blinded by my Febreze Fabric Freshener.
 
That’s the 4th case of pneumonia I’ve heard of for a relatively young person in as many weeks :o

I always do everything in reverse and most of the time my illnesses come in the Summer. Although last Christmas I had that whooping cough that lasted until February. Thankfully nothing bad this season.

I'll take "relatively young"
 
I received a 3am drunken email from a client's partner/member of staff telling me she's resigned and thanking me for being her friend! I've tried ringing the client but his phone is unavailable. The extent of our interaction is she emails me to ask me to pay other staff members, check bank balances and issue invoices so I don't quite know how I'm truly a friend and a diamond. I'm not cancelling the standing order until I can get hold of the client himself though.

"Hi Floppet*
Could you please cancel standing order to santander account, if possible close acc . I've resigned from company. So goodbye, thank you for the friendship over the years, your truly a friend n a diamond.
Your Friendship
Dee😘"

Yes, speedy recovery to everyone.

I'm managed to avoid getting sick this last month - which is honestly a surprise; I really expected my body to turn on me for not taking care of myself in terms of crazy working hours.
 
We're off to Windsor today. I've not been since I was child.

Change the SO to your account and move to Belize
 
Actually my phone is telling me it will be a balmy high of -5 and low of -9 a week on Wednesday. WTF. Maybe I should retire back to Ireland before that…
 
I swear since Covid, everyone has been getting sick all the time. Way more than before

Maybe you were kind to her at a time that others weren’t. You never know what kind of thing someone might remember

Is that Apple iPhone weather? They always used to be famed for such ridiculous predictions that never came remotely close to being true. I long since moved to the BBC app.

Yes it is. BBC is reporting a more bearable -3.
 
I've just been to ASDA in downtown ELLESMERE PORT and they're selling A LITRE OF OLIVE OIL for £5.20 and YES THIS REALLY IS WHAT MY LIFE HAS COME TO
