Take plenty of liquids

Having finally decided I should visit the doctor I then couldn't get an appointment, so ended up coughing my way through the day and slurping various potions and plenty of water. None of it seemed to work really and I just feel below par.
Going out for a gossipy supper with a colleague at a local wine bar was much more successful. Nice food and a glass of wine and chat helped me feel almost human again but I'm suffering again now I'm back home. Sick of being ill...
