My Shite Friday
I can confidently state that this has to be one of my shittiest Fridays ever. Here's what should have happened: Up at 9, breakfast, pack my bags, train to Heathrow, arrive JFK, cab to Matt's in Brooklyn followed by a cocktail or two in Williamsburg. Sounds good, huh? Here's what actually happened: Woke up still feeling indescribably dreadful, mid way through the worst flu I've ever had. Every bone in my body aches, I can barely walk, I've got a splitting headache and feel like I've been hit by a bus. Optimistically hobble to the bathroom off hoping that a hot bath would sort me out. No go. Ring Virgin to change flight to tomorrow. ("Certainly sir. That'll be another £400 for the two of you") Attempt a breakfast of toast. Can't eat it. Retire to bed all day for a sweaty ache-a-thon. Dinner: one piece of toast. Still feel like shit. Can feel my New York holiday slipping away. Friday sucks |
