I wrote this a long time ago. My house has got a kitchen downstairs, a Lounge and bedrooms upstairs. In bad old days I spent almost all my time in the kitchen.  All my rooms were/are multi-functional so the kitchen also worked as an office. I was never short of work and that was a reason/excuse to avoid going upstairs till it was absolutely necessary. I wanted to stay out of the way. I only went to bed after the house was quiet and I was the only one awake. This is where my habit of “not going to bed till I drop” comes from.

Sickie on the other hand stayed upstairs all the time. Now I could call him “him indoors” male equivalent to “her indoors” but I preferred “Him upstairs”. That was his referred name.  I couldn’t call him Sickie then. He never admitted he wasn’t well. He was fine, it was the others who were sick and they should take the medicine, he used to say. I could only call him Sickie now when he knows he is not completely well. He asked what Sickie is. I said the sick one so he commented that it sounds like the Sheek (chic) one! So may be I should refer to him as the Sheek one, LOL.
