a running joke

There is a running joke at work that I keep getting sick before the best night's out. Maybe it's the over excitement? Maybe I just work extra hard trying to get everything done before said night out? Regardless, it's still very frustrating to be at home feeling ill when all your friends are having fun. Of course this doesn't actually happen very often, but when it does, it kinda sucks! Last weekend my boyfriend very kindly gave me the bug he had, just in time for me to miss a couple of big get togethers with some uni friends that I'd been looking forward to for ages. He is now back to work and fit as a fiddle but for some reason I'm struggling to shake it off. So instead of moping about missing my parties, I'm now just keeping my fingers crossed I'll be better for Christmas.
