Sneezing around the Christmas tree

After my body had successfully resisted all the attacks on its immune system during the last few months it has finally given in. The sore throat since 2 days was the first warning sign of what there was to come.

Today I feel utterly rubbish and don't want to move at all. This is how men must feel with every cold. 

It is obvious that my body just does not have any reserves left. Like a willow in the wind it gives in completely and makes me feel like this. No craft and gift fair today. No biscuit baking in the kitchen. I hope I will feel a bit better in the afternoon. 

I hate to be ill and I am not used to being so wiped out.
