I am ill and lying in bed. I have marking to do (oh so much marking!) but am putting it off for a bit. I feel so tired. I know I should be planning healthy meals for the week. I should be doing a grocery shop. I should be doing my marking. I feel so rotten though that it's hard to do anything.

Maybe what I should really do is have a day off? Stay in bed. Don't feel guilty. Don't let 'should' enter the equation.

If I want to play on my iPhone or watch episodes of ridiculous but addictive crime drama then so be it!

If I want to read or stare into space then I'm going to!

I may even do some of that marking BUT ONLY IF I WANT TO!
