The Darkling Thrush

Three reasons why Monday was dreadful.

1. After a brilliant morning, the afternoon was spent in a meeting so horrible, so awkward and so embarrassing, that I genuinely think I’d have more dignity as a professional kitten strangler.
   
2. During this ghastly meeting, the Irishman texted to explain that yes, it was all over. He did phone later, which was nice, but still…
   
3. Having worked my way through all the other possible side effects of my antibiotics, I’ve now developed thrush. How ironic. After all the things I've done, I finally catch an STD off penicillin.
