I think it shows! And the latest pic, at the top, is therefore a bit depressing; looks like I\u2019ve been crying all night! I haven\u2019t. But I have had a rough night of neck pain and extreme headaches, in addition to the Strep A throat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"787\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-787x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-8087\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-787x1024.jpg 787w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-231x300.jpg 231w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-768x999.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-1181x1536.jpg 1181w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-1574x2048.jpg 1574w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/img_6359-1-scaled.jpg 1968w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This was Saturday night, in bed at Hannah\u2019s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And the third pic, the furthest back in time of the three? That reflects my annoyance, more than the physical toll illness is having. Whereas the image right at the top captures both, to my mind. Sometimes when you\u2019re unwell you hit a plateaux of being sick of being sick. I\u2019m there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first three days of this throat infection I went from \u2018business as usual\u2019 on the Friday, which I\u2019m assuming is the day I caught it, whilst teaching in two primary schools, to a 50\/50 mix: bed rest most of the time, but still doing Amazon Flex delivery shifts (Saturday and Sunday), to more or less complete bed rest, yesterday and today (Monday and Tuesday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I had a blood test at the doc\u2019s in the morning, and I cooked dinner in the evening. But outside of those two things, I was mostly in bed, sleeping or reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lrUa8BZBkXU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This could be very useful!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I ought to be working on a Grade 7 drum piece I\u2019m doing with a pupil (Tower of Power\u2019s terrific \u2018What Is Hip\u2019).
