I have at this point almost completely recovered from being sick. Just a small cough that occurs when I rapidly change position (e.g. lying down to sitting up) or go in places of very different temperature (inside house, to outdoors). I have even had a few nights were I have had good sleep so I don't feel as weary during the day.
Yesterday was one of those days. I had planned to go into uni to the Friday lab, as I missed the Wed one due to illness. I got up and was getting breakfast, when I knocked a glass onto the floor which shattered. Of course I had bare feet at the time, and managed to step on a small fragment, and then bleed rather profusely when I pulled the fragment out. A band-aid was all that was needed for that, but then I had to clean up the blood I tracked on the floor, in addition to the glass. Suffice to say at that point I decided I was not going into uni but back to bed. (Would have missed my bus anyway.)
When I did get up I spent some time just cleaning up the house and washing clothes. Things were piled up more than normal due to 2 weeks of illness. And of course I made sure that I got all the glass, swept and vacuumed. House looks reasonably respectable now. Then I spent some more time sorting out my uni notes, and composing a list of all the things I need to do and their due dates. While doing this I discovered some due dates were much closer than expected, and there were more pieces of assessment (or more was involved) than I expected. Suffice to say I started feeling a little overwhelmed.
I have done very well so far in terms of grades, now I just have more due in a shorter period of time, and must also catch up from missed days. My goal is to try and knock a couple of things off the list, particularly the more valuable pieces. I think I will feel better when I have made some progress. I don't have time to just feel sorry for myself, I need to direct my energy into my work. As such I won't be using facebook, and limited here as well. Only about a month of lectures left (finish Dec 4th) and then I have 4 exams, so will be extremely busy for next month and a bit.
