Whoa! For three days straight I have done nothing except sit on the couch, watch bad cable television and take fever reducing aspirin. Needless to say, I was pretty sick.
Wednesday afternoon I noticed my back started aching- as weird as it sounds, my skin start to ache too. That was the tell-tale sign for me... I was sick. I had the school nurse check me out. I didn't have a fever then, but I knew it was coming. I opted out of soccer practice to spare the varsity team on the road to sectionals. I didn't feel nauseated, but I didn't want to eat anyway. Then the fever came... for three days....
Finally Saturday afternoon, I started feeling a little bit human again. I still haven't gone anywhere or done anything in four days!!! (Just in case! I don't want to be responsible for spreading this whatever it is!)
So today, Sunday, this illness feels more like a cold than anything. My head is congested, but I don't have the body ache I've had for three days. Phew...
I missed some really good stuff at school too! For starters, I gave my unit test on Thursday for Walk Two Moons. I hate not being in school in the first place, but I hate giving tests on days I am not there. There are always so many questions... Secondly, the 7th graders went on a field trip- this is the one and only seventh grade field trip... so sad! The day before Halloween and I couldn't be there! Lastly, the girls' Varsity team was on the road to sectional success and I missed two of the practices I was supposed to help out with and their -unfortunate- last game of the 2009 season. Argh! I hate being sick. I hate missing school and I especially hate writing sub plans! (especially when a lot of what I write doesn't always translate into what is done... Grr)
I hope no one else gets this... I tried to keep myself sequestered away to avoid all possible human contact. I'm looking forward to checking out what happened back at school. I know my poor kids probably have some interesting sub tales to share. (They usually do!)
Stay healthy!
