I woke up this morning with a cold and I look soo goooood! My nose is red and I have some rather lovely new spots! Now I’m not adverse to the odd out break but my face appears to be having an early mid-life crisis! its reliving its early teenage years of spotty-ness. This seems a tad unfair seeing as im not that far from wrinkles-vile. I thought i would be enjoying a few spot free years until wrinkles set!
And to add insult to injury my loving life long partner is treating me like a leper, he hasn’t breathed in my direction all morning and he’s snorted a whole bottle of first defence.
I am used to the illness phobic men in my life though, if i was ill when i was a kid my dad would sleep in the car until i was better ( it was a big retro American job so I’m sure he was comfortable).
So i plan to spend the rest my day in quarantine, in peace, sipping hot ribena and eating marmite on toast until i feel better, maybe cloud’s do have silver linings…
If anyone has any other cold remedies suggestions (other than ribena and marmite!) I would be grateful!
