BYE BYE FLU! Hello Happiness! so long fluiness...

Its been a bit of a struggle the last couple of weeks. I caught a horrid flu thing that has to be the worst flu thing that I have ever had. I have been ill a bit this year and I have to say that I am not impressed with it at all! I know that its because, as my mother would say, I burn the candle at both ends but I have been cutting back on reckless partying and mostly staying in for weeks and STILL I get the flu! It has been a bit of a stressful year though and I REALLY need a holiday.

What I hate about the flu:

• Sniffling
• Snot
• Dumb sore throat
• fevers that make you feel like you are going to collapse when you walk up the stairs
• no tastebuds (that one REALLY sux)
• blotchy head
• horrid sinus infection that came along with it, although at least I got antibiotics for that one
• not being able to go to the gym thus sabotaging my exercise routine.
• The expense of lemsips, antibiotics, strepsils, panadol and the doctors appointment (who told me I had the flu and identified the sinus infection but couldn't do much about it)

Other then having the flu though, life is pretty good at the moment. I am finally feeling like I have a little idea where my life is headed in the next 12 months and that is making me giddy with relief!

What is making me happy at the moment : (thanks for the pollyanna moment DV - thought I might have my own...)

• less pirates today
• feeling like the flu is almost gone
• I'm going to trivia tonight and I know the answer to the homework question
  
• Its nearly the weekend
• I am doing a new creative writing class on Saturday
• My boy has finally finished NIDA and is starting to get PAID work!
• My show is finally on stage
• Having my first opening night at the Opera House (with only one costume malfunction - shoe flew off! Not my fault!)
• That my boss and supervisor are happy with my work and my contract has been extended
• They are giving me a permanent job come January
• My next show has less pink flowers in it
• Its not too long till Dr Scruff comes back again
• My mum is hopefully moving home in December
• I'm finally feeling like sewing again (although I have no space to do it!)
• I'm gonna eat some wedges with sour cream and damn the calories!

So its finally all ok in Jimmyland. Lets hope it continues for a while. The only thing that would top it all off is a nice holiday - hmmm can't have everything!
