8am- Really, really, really wish could get rid of bug. Third morning in row been sick. Also, Mrs C's operation today. Harry very worried.

9am- "Should I phone Janet?" Really angry at self for making Harry worry more, even though technically not my fault as did not ask for bug.

"Stop worrying about me," Batted away his attempts to check my temperature. "It's just a bug. I've phoned Leo and told him I won't be coming in."

"But..."

"Will you please leave me alone? I'm going to watch Mad Men and drink hot blackcurrant. I'll have a whale of a time."

11:21am- Harry texted to say Mrs C has gone into theatre. Janet phoned asking about some dinner date, will check calendar.

11:49am- Shit.

11:51am- No. That must be wrong. It can't be that long since I checked the calendar.

11:54am- How the hell did I not notice?

11:59am- Stupid, stupid, stupid. Too busy worrying about Mrs C and stupid bloody office quiz night, didn't even notice must obvious signs. Pathetic excuse for doctor.
