It's frustrating being ill. In the lead up to Christmas I was ill for about 2 weeks, the first two thirds being down to a nasty cold that everyone seems to have had recently. Then for a few days I was suffering from a violet tummy bug which was making me throw up once an hour. That hurt. Lots. Throwing up when there's nothing in your stomach is excruciatingly painful.

Apparantly (Mum is now specialising in Reiki and gave me a treatment session whilst I was staying for the weekend) my chakras were misaligned and the emotional stress I've been going through recently has lowered my immune system. But I'm back to health now I think. I'm not feeling any less stressed since the Christmas break, but I do have a certain sense of refreshed-ness.

I'm about to embark on my first year of full-time office work. The first of probably 40. Shit, that's a depressing thought.
