sick sucks
I think I'm sick. I woke up this morning feeling fine except for a sore throat. Yesterday i ran my program with all singles and it completely wiped me out. I figured it was due to lack of sleep though, but maybe it was a warning. So I loaded up on tylenol because I still had a full day ahead of me, even though i called in sick to skating this morning. My started feeling bad too. Not really a headache, but just sick feeling. I also started to feel when the tylenol wore off. I had to sip on Dr. Pepper all day to make my throat feel better. Oh and I called my mom to ask her about combining some meds, and she said she was in the dr.'s office with my brother. Apparently he's there with a sore throat and stomache, no fever like me, and all of his friends have strep. I haven't been around my brother at all recently, and was only home for about 3 hours on Friday and stayed in my dad's study. Kind of a weird coincidence though. I'm hoping I don't have strep. I just can't afford to be sick right now!
I was hoping to go to the rink to skate with some friends before work, but my main friend didn't have work. However, I think I guilted him in to going anyways, because later he called and said he took over a shift. I was going to go to Sonic and get me a Sonic Sunrise b/c the acidity strangely feels good on a sore throat. He asked for something too, and when I brought it to him he said his throat was hurting since this morning. Since I saw him this weekend, and we both started feeling sick at the same time, he's now blaming me. I countered that arguement that maybe it was Sheri who got us sick b/c we were also with her this weekend, but since she's not yet showing signs of sickness, I guess I lost the arguement. However, we skated and talked to some of the coaches and tried running into people (i always missed...) and it was fun. Then we went and hung out in the skate rental and argued with the camp kids. It was fun and made me think less of my feeling like crap. Especially since I had to teach and new I would probably lose my voice. I didn't, but it got scratchy and my new kiddos didn't really know how to relate to my sillyness. They're 3-5 year olds, but their last teacher wasn't one of those that can get real silly with them.
I was happy to come home and nap tonight. I just didn't care cuz it kept me from feeling bad. Plus it gave me energy to finish The Giver, which got soooo much better after chapter 7. I'm still pretty awake, so I think I'm going to try and finish Tom Brown School Days tonight, and start/finish Tuck Everlasting tomorrow. I also finished my paper for the presentation I'm supposed to give on Thursday. I just hope my voice lasts all day, b/c the presentation is at 6pm. Unless I feel better, I probably won't go skating Thursday morning, so that will help b/c then my day only goes from 11-7 instead of 7-7. Although I have another part of a new book due on Friday, I'll probably just watch tv and movie with Sheri Thursday night...or sleep...
Tomorrow's going to be hard b/c I havea to tutor my kids for 1 hr and teach a lesson in the afternoon. That's what is hard about being sick. It should be interesting in the future when I'm a school teacher and I'm sick trying to go for 7 straight hours. I expect a lot of silent reading and work days then. Tomorrow will probably be filled with icees, tylenol, and sonic sunrises.
I guess it's off to bed with me.
