Today I have felt so ill! My throat has been scratchy and on fire and my head feels like its all blocked. My muscles are all aching too. I really hope it wears off quickly as I've not got a day off now until next weekend. Today's PED is of a local cat who's lovely! 

Song Of The Day: Mastodon - Blood & Thunder

Reason: Amazing song, so heavy yet exactly the kind of song that sticks right in your head. 

Highlight Of The Day: A late night walk with Stark and the boy. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Game Of Thrones season 1 episode 9. Great storytelling!

Today I've been struggling with a sore throat. I haven't had one in ages so I'd forgotten how horrible they are. Throughout the day I've slowly started to get ear ache and feel very tired, so I'm sure it's a sign of something a bit more than just a sore throat sadly. It's my day off tomorrow so I just plan to relax as much as possible to try and get rid of it quicker. 

Song Of The Day: Linkin Park - From The Inside

Reason: Old school classic! 

Highlight Of The Day: Watching lots of documentaries. 

Inspiration Of The Day: The super cute kitten with two faces!

Today I have not been well. For some reason I've been sick and felt really dizzy and strange. After a good few hours sleep I seem to feel better but still have a raging headache. Fingers crossed that tomorrow is a better day!

Song Of The Day: Classic FM
Reason: Nice and relaxing before bedtime.

Highlight Of The Day: Lying down. Any minute I spent horizontal was the best!

Inspiration Of The Day: People who have serious illnesses. It's bad enough just feeling generally ill!

Today Stark went to the vets to get checked out. They said his diarrhea is normal as he's had such a big change which is for the best, but has still upset his little tummy. He's got some medicine to make him feel better and we're hoping to see the effects over the next couple of days. We've been playing 'puppy-copter' with him, which he loves! It basically involves him 'flying' ie being carried at arms length and making plane noises. He loves it! I also have half a day off tomorrow so I can have a lie in! Yay!

Puppy-copter:


Song Of The Day: Radiohead - Creep
Reason: Amazing song! Love it! There were some right cracking songs on the radio today.

Highlight Of The Day: Hearing that Stark is a happy, healthy pup.

Inspiration Of The Day: Wooden ties by Wood Thumb. I wish I was a guy!

Today Stark's tummy doesn't seem any better really. He's having frequent diarrhea spells and seems tired and dehydrated. We've given him chicken and rice to see if that helps it and if not, he's off to the vet. Not a good start for the little mite! He's quite severely underweight, which is hidden by the fact he's fluffy, so I'm quite surprised they let us adopt him already. It's going to be hard to get him to gain weight if he keeps on with this upset tummy. Fingers crossed tomorrow is a better day.

Sleepy Boy:


Song Of The Day: The Black Keys - Lonely Boy
Reason: Just stuck in my head for some reason! Not even particularly fond of this song or anything!

Highlight Of The Day: A nice day at work being able to see the nice sunshine.

Inspiration Of The Day: Don't Cook Your Dog is a campaign to raise awareness to prevent dogs from being left in hot cars to die.

Today Stark has been his usual playful then sleepy self. He's also been eating more today and had a bit of rice so hopefully that will settle his poor tummy.

Man & Dog:


Song Of The Day: Green Day - Walking Contradiction
Reason: Love this song, so clever and humorous with it's lyrics! 

Highlight Of The Day: Game Of Thrones!

Inspiration Of The Day: Luxirare a stunning and beautifully photographed blog. I love the food photos, they're stunning!

So today I have been half dying with the stupid head cold the boy gave me. The cough has started this afternoon and I literally can't stop. I usually have a bad cough anyway, although the docs say I'm not asthmatic but don't care enough to find out more...! But it's ridiculous today, I keep having to lie down as I can't seem to cough enough to clear my chest. Here's hoping it doesn't last too long. Tonight I made our dining chairs, or rather pieced them all together, I didn't hand make them or anything sadly! The table is a two man job so we'll probably do that in the morning.

Dining:


Song Of The Day: NOFX - Franco Un-American
Reason: I love NOFX, they were one of the best bands, if not the best, I've ever seen at a festival. Their set was hilarious and so entertaining. I went to see them with a friend when I lived in Leeds but they didn't seem to have the same spark, still entertaining nonetheless.

Highlight Of The Day: Someone coming to get started on our snag list.

Inspiration Of The Day:  Whilst looking for cutlery online I came across this article, my personal favourite is the fish one!

Tomorrow we are going to be looking after Pixie and moving back into my Mum's for the week whilst they're on holiday. I love my mutt, but she is demanding!! Expect some Pixie themed PEDs for the next few days. I'm surprisingly still feeling ill! Mostly just a really bad headache and blocked ears. The headache seems to be mostly first thing in the morning, late at night and if I do too much, so it does look like it's on its way out at least.

Counting Sheep:


Song Of The Day: Poe - Terrible Thought
Reason: I want to make a video for this song!

Highlight Of The Day: Watching my little rattie babies as they slept. They're like little dogs!!

Another quick one day as I still really feel ill. The boy was tidying up and put our throw over the back of the sofa which looks really nice with our cushions in my opinion.

United Nation:


Song Of The Day: D'Banj - Oliver Twist
Reason: So bad it's sorta ok.

Highlight Of The Day: Having the best supervisor in the world.

Today will be a super fast post because to say I still feel ill would be putting it mildly. I thought I was perking up a bit by mid afternoon, but this evening has seen my headaches and earaches get a whole lot worse. Super sad face. I did finish my book however. I may do a book review when I feel better (if I remember).

When I Was Five:


Song Of The Day: Silence
Reason: It's been the only sound I've appreciated all day.

Highlight Of The Day: I did manage to get a job application done whilst I was feeling a bit more 'perky', then that really was it....!

Today I have been feeling terrible. Again. I hate being ill, it's boring when you're not capable of moving more than 5 meters an hour. Pixie did come and visit though, so it wasn't a totally wasted day. This is her unimpressed face which she pulls when she has to have her car seatbelt put on.

Car Safe:


Song Of The Day: Katy Perry - The One That Got Away
Reason: Watched the video before, really like the song and it's easy to relate to.

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing my Pixie baby!

Today has been much worse than yesterday in terms of feeling ill. Everything is blocked up and I've got sharp pains and aches all over my body. It's a bit hard to tell if it's just a severe cold or mild flu at this stage. We'll see how I feel tomorrow I guess. 

Mr Whippy:


Song Of The Day: Oasis - Wonderwall
Reason: Someone of Facebook had posted the lyrics, it's a class song in my opinion.

Highlight Of The Day:  Eating ice cream as it soothes my throat temporarily. Also finding a really powerful decongestant tablet with made me feel much better for an hour, then I felt worse than before...doh!

Today I feel ill. I thought it was just my allergy playing up whislt I was in work, but after a couple of antihistamines and no improvement I've decided it's definately the start of a cold. Sad face!

Medicinal:


Song Of The Day: Alkaline Trio - We've Had Enough

Reason: The first Alkaline Trio song I heard, loved it instantly. "Put "Walk Among Us" on and turn it up"

Highlight Of The Day: Finding out some nice news from my boss
