Norovirus

I am part of a very special club of people in the UK who have caught the horrendous norovirus, go me.

It's in my top 3 worst flu experiences ever (I have a chart, that's how often I get sick), right next to swine flu and some other "epidemic" flu that was blighting the UK when I was 17 ( can't remember the name). What can I say, I like to be part of the spotlight. A flu junkie if you will.

It started Sat night and I'm just about able to type. It was awful.

****TMI alert - you've been warned ****
What is wrong with me? The first time I went to the toilet I  didn't know which end should face the toilet bowl (so awful on so many levels) and the pain in my gut... I'd never felt anything like it. But I did think, on a *physical* level, this is what a bulimic that's taken laxatives and is purging feels. I am not talking about the emotional/psychological process, but the actual pain one's body goes through.

And the thought disturbed me greatly. Why did that even pop in my head? It's certainly not a path I want to take (like ANYONE would!), and anyone who has a brain should know  it's hard, lonely, not glamorous and not healthy (wow I am doing a great job at starting the obvious here. I should go into politics). I am just so surprised at myself for even thinking that at a time where I was probably at my lowest point physically.
****END TMI****

I am on the mend and I'll go back to work (I need to shower badly though! Must do that now). The only thing that's worrying me is that I am still feeling dizzy and weak, but I can't spend any more time wallowing in my own filth haha!

In weight loss news, well, I'm sure I lost loads but it'll be short-lived, I need to get my energy back. It sucks because I also don't have much appetite still.

So my new year is going excellent so far lol

I have spent my time (in part) reading blogs but haven't been able to comment, I will rectify that soon now that I'm better and have the strength to move my fingers! Go non-debilitating weakness!!!

Love,

New year. Onwards and upwards?

I wrote this on new year's day but never posted it, I chickened out. But no longer! More up-to-date post to follow.

So, it's officially 2013. Woo hoo!

Last night I went to a posh do with fiancé and some friends, it was really fun! Today I spent the day hungover and feeling pretty low, but it's probably hangover-induced. It's going to be all right.

I just wish I could take some time off work, I haven't had a day off apart from the bank holidays and I am so tired :( I am not looking forward to stomping my way into work in the morning.

Enough of this self-indulgent whining.

It's a new year! I have no new new year's resolutions as I never stick to them, but I will be fit and healthy by September. I don't have a choice, I'm getting married then. I haven't talked about it on my blog yet, but in the spirit of this new year I feel very " fuck anonymity" right now.

So yea, big day is in September, the dress is bought and I absolutely need to look my best.

On a related note, I AM GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR!!

we've been engaged for 1.5yrs but last night after midnight was the first time I could ever say that line lol

May this year be a good one to everyone out there.
