8648/21567Feeling pretty lousy again today with this stupid, potentially fatal bug. I thought Edinburgh was going to be fun when I was feeling well and my dog was alive, but it's a bit depressing when your throat hurts and you're missing your family and you can't go home. Thanks for all your kind messages by the way.Much as I'd like to die, I think the psychological effect of losing a pet and a dad in the same week might be too much for my kids (Catie might even be upset) and so I have to think of them and fight this mild cold with all my might.
