3 Times, 4 Months.

I have tonsillitis again. YAYYYY! For the 3rd time in 4 months. I'd never had it in England before and now I can't seem to get rid of it! My boss was pretty angry at me though because I refuse to take any holiday and when she forces it upon me, I work anyway: last week she gave me the week off-although I was only supposed to be working Wednesday and Thursday, but on Wednesday I spent most of my day at the Beiber concert. Then Thursday I went to Stellenbosch with the kids because there was a golf day fundraiser there and we'd been asked to drum and on Friday was the home's annual fundraiser ball for which I also had to drum. Then the week I'm supposed to work, I get sick. I can see her point, I just can't help when I get sick though!

The timing is spectacularly bad though as me and Evlien had planned to take the kids on a suprise outing on Saturday. We have been planning it for nearly 6 months now and I will be so devastated if I can't go with them and some other volunteer gets to go, but my boss has said if I stay in bed for the next 3 days like I'm supposed to and I'm feeling better I can go with :) I think the conversation went a little something like this:

Her: You understand what I'm saying though, we gave you the whole of last week off to rest and get back to 100% but you did lots of extra things. You're a great volunteer but you have to rest when we give you time off otherwise you're going to keep getting sick.
Me: Sooo...does this mean I'm not allowed to work on Sarturday? *really hopeful, slightly ashamed smile*

I then went to my CCW to apologise for being off work and to let her know I would arrange some cover for myself for tomorrow, only to be caught by my boss when I was on my way back. And now I'm in bed, bored already.

GAHHHHH
