Sick

A few weeks ago I started waking up in the mornings with a small tickle in my throat, but once I was up and ready to start my day it disappeared. On Tuesday I woke up with a more intense tickle, that turned into a very painful sore throat.

Other than a killer sore throat I felt okay. But as the day wore on, I realized I was getting really sick. My nose started running, but I still didn't feel too bad; at least not bad enough to go home. During my lunch break my body started aching, and by the time I got home from work, I had full-blown fever. So I spent yesterday at home. I feel a little better today, but thought it best to stay home again, as I sit here with my mound of tissues, my ears constantly plugging and unplugging, my nose running like a tap, and the inability to breathe properly.

I'm just glad I didn't get sick last week, with the show coming up. And with my first big event of the school year just two weeks away I will hopefully be over this by next week.

Unless I am deathly ill tomorrow, I will be going to work. It's the Friday before the long weekend and I have some things I need to do before that time off. And hopefully I will no longer be contagious, so I won't get everyone in the office sick. But when you work in a school, it is always just a matter of time before someone gets sick. Especially at this time of year.
