I have been unwell for the past couple of days. My sister and her family visited me over the weekend, it was glorious.

On Sunday night my partner’s mother was taken to hospital – it was really worrying for a while but she seems to be on the mend. On Monday they moved her to another hospital and ward, she seems to be doing much better now.

Later that day I received a phone call from a family member of mine, I am worried about him and wanted to go to visit him but I’ve been in bed with a bug/infection/virus since. I checked my email that evening and I had been asked in to a work meeting on Tuesday. I had to decline and explain I cannot make it until the end of the week.

Yesterday was spent in bed and I hoped I’d be able to relax. I felt a little emotional and couldn’t rest because I was finding it hard to breath.

Today was the same. But I had an added bonus of a plumber doing work in my flat for ten hours. In fairness, he was very considerate and understanding but it was some upheaval I could do without. He’s coming back tomorrow to finish the work off.

This evening I noticed I won (drew) in the UCA SU election. I can only assume I applied in a rush, or that my brain wasn’t working, or that I was in the beginning stage of burn out but I stood in the wrong year!!! So I had to stand down. I feel embarrassed and I want to cry a little bit. I’m going to post some screenshots because if I wasn’t feeling so ill and silly I’d be proud:
