girlofpreyI have a cold. Except this cold has come with side effects I've never experienced before. Like a headache that went all the way up from my jaw to my temples, and which prevented me from sleeping last night because there was no not-painful way to put my head on the pillow. Except laying on my back, at which point my throat started to hurt. It's hard to tell which things are because of the cold, or because of excessive coughing and whatever. I made a special effort to go to bed at 3am last night (early compared to the times I have been going to bed lately), but I guess because I wasn't tired and because of the cold I ended up having to get up at 8.30am to do something I don't normally do: take medication. Two paracetamols and a cherry lozenge later, I managed to actually get some sleep. Except that I was woken up about an hour and a half later by my mum, because there was a man who was supposed to be coming to fix the fridge, but we didn't know when he was coming, and there was a picnic my mum wanted to take my two nephews to. She'd called the repairman to see when he was coming, and he said he had the part, but it had a piece with it he didn't know what to do with, because he'd never seen it before, so he was ringing all his friends to see if anyone could tell him. And he might need to reschedule and come in the afternoon. So my mum woke me up to say she was probably going out to the picnic, if he didn't come in the next 10 minutes or so, so if he came while I was out and I heard him, could I run down and let him in. I told her yes, but I probably wouldn't hear him, because I would be very much asleep. And then she left, and I went back to sleep. And I either didn't hear him, or he came later, because I didn't let him in, but he did come by and fix the fridge.
All of this has led to me waking and getting up really quite recently, still with a bit of a cold. I'm mostly wondering, again, whether I should skip my confidence course again. Because I've got a cold, and I can't see me getting to sleep terribly early tonight. But I don't really want to miss two weeks in a row, especially since you can't really call and say you're not going to be there, or why you're not coming. But, if I have a cold, I probably won't be able to do a lot of speaking anyway. But, even if I can't speak, I could probably still listen. I don't know. We'll see.
And now I have to go because Hollyoaks is on. Normally, if Brendan, Ste, Jacqui or Seth aren't on it (which they aren't this week), I don't enjoy it terribly much. But yesterday feature a (slightly mad) girl talking her 'new best friend' into dressing up in Starlight Express costumes so they could go to the Drama Society Ball together, and then skating around with each other singing the songs. But then, there idyllic skating and budding friendship was ruined when one of the girls realised the (slightly mad) one had lied about being attacked by the same person who had killed that girl's sister last Christmas, and ran out. It was very sad.
