Sick note  
Got a phone appointment with the GP who saw me last week, in order to get a sick note for at least the rest of the week. She suggested a whole week, but as I'm off for two weeks from next Friday for wedding+honeymoon, we settled on until next Wednesday, so I get Thursday to answer any really important questions. She's leaving the paperwork with the receptionists for Tony to collect.

It occurs to me (10 minutes later) that actually today until next Wednesday is a whole week. This stunning mental capability is one of the reasons I don't trust myself with work at the moment. I haven't started reading my email yet, for similar reasons. LJ is generally easier going, and I don't have to reply to anything.

When I want to work again, I'll know I'm nearly well again.

*hugs*

My calendar says you have a BBQ/party coming up this weekend. Are you going to be well enough for that still to be on? (It sounds like it to me, but I thought it was worth checking...)

Yes, because it's me+three other people's party, so I can get away without pulling much weight and it'll still be great.

Ah, this is still on? I had a bit set but can't seem to find any details...

Prod [info]pjc50 - you're on "his" share of the invites (as an attempt to fit everyone in the house, we went for ten people each for the four hosts). I know he's back from Paris, I just nattered to him.

Ahh, thanks, seems that chiark was being very chiark at us.

I have a theory that if you can get out of bed, you can go to work. Nasty employers have had a go at me for not working even when I was in bed sick. And nice ones have sent me home for returning to work too soon.

Take it really easy - it's very important you get well "properly" - and no matter how impatient you might get towards the end of your recuperation, keep relaxing! I'm sure nobody would think you're a malingerer and you were in hospital FFS!

Seriously take it very easy and get properly better; don't do too much too soon.

Oh, and I will bring something savoury (meant to say that ages ago!) :)

Hmm, I am capable of getting out of bed, but I wouldn't say I was capable of working. I was capable of getting out of bed in hospital too.

Cheers about the savoury.

Sorry, no, what I meant is that I apply that rule to myself, but have then been sent home for returning to work too fast, hence the wish for you not to do that but to get properly better first!

I confuse myself sometimes. :)
