No, I don't think it's sad at all. Reality is pretty shit most of the time so at least when you're living in the 80's while enjoying Ashes to Ashes you're not getting bogged down by the news or anything like that!
Enjoy life honey, however it pleases you - as long as it's legal and doesn't hurt anyone else of course!
Get well soon and make sure next time you have a bit of time off and enjoy a few duvet days, it won't hurt, honest!
Wowsers 9 days of flu my boys just started with a cold, am really hoping that I dont get it, a cold just in time for holidays = not so good! Glad your feeling better though
