A Slippery Path



Although the week started well, it's gone pear-shaped & I only have myself to blame. Thinking I'd be fine, I snuck off to work on Monday for a couple of hours to complete all the urgent End of Financial Year stuff & well, one thing led to another & I stayed too long. Add in another couple of hours of high drama trying to resolve an issue yesterday & I'm totally done in. I'm feeling very ordinary, so I'm definitely going to having the next 4 days off, so comfy slippers here I come. MOTH's furious & I got a big lecture tonight, so I guess I'll have to comply with his orders. However, I'm missing you all & I'm looking forward to stopping by & saying hello while tucked up on the sofa with the laptop. They say nurses make the worst patients & I reckon that's pretty accurate. Sorry Not Dr. McDreamy for overdoing it, I'll try & be good from now on or MOTH's threatened to dob me in to you big time.

  3. Hello Millie,

    You are a naughty girl! Consider yourself told off :-)

    You must rest and give your body a chance to heal - my partner did exactly the same after having a lot of teeth extracted and thought that he was okay to go to work but realised after a few hours that it was not a good idea unless he wanted to end up back in the hospital :-(

    Happy resting,

  4. I had a bad feeling when I did't see a post yesterday. You are a Super Hero/Wonder Woman, Millie, but you do have a human body. So good to read your words. Love, Heidi

  8. Lie back in those comfy slippers and let MOTH spoil you. If the weather's anything like here bed sounds like the very best place to be today. Leigh

  12. Millie, I know you're totally superwoman and everything, but every now and then you have to take off the magic bangles and boots and let someone else wear the cape. Wishing you sweet, sweet rest. Meredith xo.

  14. tsk tsk Miss Millie. And you don't need pretty slippers, you won't be walking anywhere.

    You visited me before I could get up a special post for MOTH. Please hop over again and call him to get his treat. Such a worry you are to him.

    Compose yourself to patience m'dear. All will be well.

  15. Think of it as a bloggers retreat Millie, and you don't have to feel at all guilty for spending some quality time with your laptop.

  16. After surgery a few years ago I was told not to go back to work for 4-6wks, phooof what rubbish I thought, however one day when feeling rather grand I thought I'd venture out for a bit of retail therapy, what could possibly be wrong with that? Yes well by evening I was in rather a sorry state, and began to realise Drs arn't as silly about these things as we sometimes think. You rest up!!!

  17. Lady Mill! you need a spank from MOTH if you don't listen. No matter what, all your bloggie friends are here waiting for you & want to see you happy & healthy. Your work still there too, right? But, hey! I learnt from my experience that work needs us but I can't die for my work, can you?

    So, now listen to MOTH, k? Be good girl, we only have a body. How I wish we can just drive by the warehouse, picking up body parts §:-))

    So much hugs from HOT Stockholm, my thoughts & prayers.

    Keep resting & have fab week-end!

  21. Rest, relax and take advantage of the situation. We look forward to hearing from you in a bit, in the time between we will have you in our thoughts.

  22. Well Millie,
    I guess you have been properly and strongly put in your place by one and all. Majority rules in this circumstance. How did you ever sneak by Moth? I bet he has now nailed all the windows and doors shut, just in case. Enjoy that down time instead of fighting it.
    We love you and wish you a speedy recovery!

  23. Speedy recovery Millie... but like most women we just can't sit still long enough or accept pampering for more than a day!!
    Take everyones advice and rest. Your body will let you know when its ready for work. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.
    Take care

  24. Okay ... I've finally stumbled out of that gorgeous pub of yours and actually read some more previous posts! By the way thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

    I love your sense of humour, but I've got to say..... MOTH's post had me laughing out loud. (you don't have to tell him, if he'll start Lording it around, thinking he's fab).

    I'm adding you to my blogroll, take care and put your feet up! xx

  25. Bravo Miss Millie.

    We too can feel your lightness today.

    Keep reaching for the feeling of relief. Keep feeling that feeling. That is where the magic is. Feet up and everything else that feels good is the ongoing plan. We'll of course be here waiting and sending you love and light.
