On being ill

I picked up some kind of flu/cold when I was in England. I have been unable to do anything, but read (and make a new CV) for last 4 days. I intended to try to go to work today, but I didn't feel up to it. I thought I was getting better yesterday, but somehow I feel worse today.

I hate being ill.  I can't concentrate. Still I just need to wait and the illness will burn out and I will be able normal again. I was hoping that I would be fresh after my short holiday, but I could not even face going to work this morning.

I stare at my small collection of dumbbells but my body has no energy to lift them. I feel strength bleeding out of my body. I even have a new book to learn better technique.
