first sickness of the year
ughhh.... it had to happen. i knew it was coming. normally teachers get sick sometime in the first few weeks cuz they’re exposed to all sortsa germs that the students drag in. and then we’re dealing with the long hours -and- the weather change! i’ve been fending off this sickness for over a week, though tired all the time, but once the weather changed and i was continuously shivering, i knew it was gonna hit.
last night was when it went into full effect - it’s mostly just inflamed tonsils. i’m pushing water, vitamin c, echinacea, and i even drank a garlic clove last night too. i’m gonna be stinky today too!
yeah… and i still have to work. today we’re taking team picture, so i have to be at school. tomorrow we have a game and i really wanna be there too. wednesday might be my first real chance at recovery! plus, i don’t even know how to call for a sub yet, so that’s crazy. i can’t -not- be at school, cuz i don’t have a replacement.
