Man Flu continues....

Having been awake since 4.00am I took the decision that " man flu" meant work was a no no today...and that means only one thing to me!..The house to myself..well almost (the 12 year old Lucy is sick as well) I decided that as running was out of the question (unless I'm totally mad or as Pink Floyd would say "I know I'm mad I've always been mad"...for those of a certain age :)) I armed myself with lots of hot tea and settled down to "Mine" by Robert McCammon http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R3M990DT7ZIW0N/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R3M990DT7ZIW0N
View the blurb, read the first pages this is a truly amazing read and within no time I was page 350! This is one fantastic author and I look forward to discovering many more of his books in the future. Why is it that when you are ill,  and when you telephone to report to your immediate boss that you will not be attending work today, you feel guilty. You always feel that even though you are genuinely  ill you have to sound really really ill..even depressed..as you may  not be believed. I know this is because of the sick culture we live in and with so many so called dedicated employees pulling a "sickie" it gives us genuine cases a feeling of guilt when we don't report for duty...sir!!...or maybe I just have a complex  :(. I also spent some time today updating my profile on goodreads a book social networking site that in my opinion is fast becoming one of the best on the net and you can see my profile at http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3542870
It's party time for Lucy tomorrow and there is a sleepover...god help us...lets speak then..if I'm awake :))
