On the road to recovery?
Here I am, a week later... still sick. Just a different kinda sick. I'm not sure which type I prefer. Did I prefer the hacking, sneezing, sniffly, headache, sore throat, fever cold... or the headache, earache, hacking, pressurized, sniffly, sinus infection?
I had to have them call in another sub to sub for me today. I "got sick" in the morning right before I left, and felt like I was gonna "get sick" while reading two chapters of a book to the wee first graders. I'm lucky they found a replacement as fast as they did... it took all I had to make it through the drive home, only to "get sick" as soon as I set foot on solid ground. Had to break down and go to the doctor... my body has never been very good at healing itself. No insurance... crappiness. My doctor's cool, though. He gave me all the meds for free. Although, I think that one-dose antibiotic is contributing to how crappy I feel at the present time.
Maybe tonight will be the night where I get a good night's rest and wake up feeling totally rejuvenated. Here's hoping. The next three days are non-stop working. I have just as little time to be sick now as I did last week. I was thinking about it, and I would've welcomed this kind of sickness back in high school. Get out of school and sleep all day. I'd probably even have welcomed it while I was taking college classes. Sounding sick, along with a doctor's note... the absolute best way to get out of class or to get extra time to study for an exam. These days, however, this illness is very, very tedious. I feel like every day I work in the schools is one more chance to impress someone on the inside that can pull some strings. As for the restaurant, they are shorthanded as it is... I hate letting people down. So, no matter how sick I get, which seems to occur more and more in the present years, nothing good comes out of it. Guess I should work on not getting sick, rather than put myself directly in the path of it (No offense, Chris).
It's hard for me to fathom what it feels like to feel well. In reality, it has only been a week and a half... but it seems like so much longer.
