Cabin Fever

Another Monday, another day sick leave. I fear I may have 'Cabin Fever' to add to my list of ailments. I looked it up on Wikipedia today and it describes my symptoms precisely. I am irritable, restless and forgetful. I also keep laughing at inopportune moments. Take yesterday for instance, I was doubled over in tears of laughter when Louise slipped on the bathroom floor stubbing her toe and spilling a bottle of bright pink nail varnish. However I became quickly irritated when her foul smelling nail varnish remover failed to clean the shocking pink stain from the bathroom lino. Louise thinks I need to 'get out more'. I'm sleeping most of the day and have gained weight. So much so my stretch top jeans are straining at my expanding girth. Louise says it's not helping my back and I need to get mobile. I tried to explain that not only did I have a bad back but also 'Cabin Fever' when I forgot what I was talking about and had to go back to daytime TV and a round of white bread cheese toasties. Louise has booked me on a gentle exercise and yoga class for the over 50's. She says she'll come with me. I hope I can get out of the house.
