Yep, that's how I felt before Christmas. The flu initially wiped me out, but then after the main fever I had this constant lethargy that I couldn't shake for about 3 weeks. Luckily it went away just before Christmas!
Sounds like a great weekend! It's such a great feeling when there's no chores to do and no responsibilities! These moments are so incredibly rare for me that I end up feeling guilty when I do take advantage of them!
Spent most of the time with the family, as relaxing as it can be with two young kids!
Been visiting my dad a lot, he's out of hospital now (was discharged just before Christmas) and is in a care home for rehabilitiation due to his poor mobility. It's a 30 minute drive away though which is a pain in the arse; the hospital was just 5 minutes away. But, he seems to be getting better and is handling being in the care home much better than I anticipated. I think having lots of company and help with basic things is really changing his mind.
I've been playing Satisfactory in the nights after the kids have gone to bed. It's the first game I've got addicted to in... well probably well over a decade.
We've been watching the TV show "Shetland" over the holidays - amazing how many murders such a tiny place can endure!
Was back at work on Friday which felt very strange.
I've also started running again after having the long-term flu. I've decided to take two days rest between runs, as my calves are still being a bit of an arse, however I did a load of recovery exercises yesterday immediately after my run and today my legs are feeling better than they would have. So fingers crossed! Otherwise it'll be more trips to the physio.
Polls also showed we were going to vote remain. I wouldn't believe what any polls say now.
I dunno why people care what position the seat & lid are in. It takes like 1 second to put it into the required configuration.
I usually do our food shop online, however I plan the meals and write down everything we need for the week. If I'm going to the shop then I'll write the list down in the order I'll move through the shop so that i can just work my way down through the list.
Brimg back double-clicking on the top left corner of a program to close it.
What OS was this on? Not sure it's ever been a feature of Windows as far as I know. What's the benefit of doing this vs just single clicking on the X button?
For a moment I genuinely thought that this was a photo from my parents living room from back in the day. I loved having these up in our living room at Christmas!
Still recovering from this flu. Had a couple of days where it wiped me out again and had to call in sick two weeks after the initial fever stage. Now stuck with a cough and sniffly nose!
Dad is still in hospital but is getting much better. He's mentally a lot better too, I think him being around people all the time is doing him a lot of good. He even said he doesn't want to be discharged home which is an enormous 180 for home, he's been incredibly stubborn about staying in his house. I think the message is starting to get through that he's in no state to live in his own. Social services are keen to send him back home though as there's no available space in rehabilitation (for his poor mobility).
Kids are excited for Christmas which is nice! I just miss that excitement myself, now it's just a stressful time with trying to organise everything and make sure the day goes smoothly!
My mate is back from the Netherlands visiting his parents for a bit so looking forward to grabbing a few pints with him in our usual decent pub!
I've completely checked out of work due to the time off I've had due to being sick. Just 1.5 days left!
Same for saying "the only good nazi is a dead nazi"
