(no subject)
I took my first sick day in almost two years today. Woke up this morning with some kind of mild flu-- light fever, chills, nausea, etc.-- on top of the cold I'd already had. Our head kindy teacher, by necessity, took me to our usual clinic and intermediated with the doctor, who told me to stay home today-- excellent. Five hours' sleep and a couple packs of pills, plus a big helping of juk (rice porridge) with chicken and cheese and various mix-ins, plus a bunch of tangerine juice and a bit of coffee and a few sweets, and I'm feeling almost chipper. If I'd felt like this this morning, I'd never have taken the day off. Sometimes rest (and medication) is what you need, I guess.
It's chilling down here, and getting drier as well. I'm cycling in my cool-weather clothes. The classrooms still get hot during the day, so I have to sneakily turn on the AC from about 11 to 1 or the kids fuss and won't focus. Probably soon it will be much too cold to think about that. Highs in the seventies through the weekend.
Keeping this short because my computer's about to overheat. Nothing too exciting is going on. I'm knocking a lot of books on my reading list. Last night I finished The Spellman Files, and right now I'm working on Born to Run, which-- bizarrely-- is making me want to try running again for the first time since middle school. We'll see, I guess. Tomorrow is Friday; lovely. Hope all of you are taking care of yourselves! XOXOXOXO
