No Monday for me

Alright Alright. Maybe I should have taken it a little easier this weekend. Maybe I should have had that extra cup of airborne. Whatever the case, I took my first sick day of the school year today. Technically, I taught my first period and then went home, as I had NADA in the way of sub plans so early in the year.

This sinus/allergy/asthma stuff usually hits me in October, but apparently this group of students has super-germs or my immune system was more stressed than I was. It doesn't bode well for me. I'm taking all the precautions, including a stop at Jamba Juice for an extra shot of

I didn't even attempt to be productive. No folders to grade. No lesson plans. I haven't even checked my school e-mail. I just took my "knock-it-out" cough syrup and was down for the count. The cat is thrilled to have a nap buddy and has not left my side. src=

I think this might possibly be a new record for me. 8 days into the academic calendar and I'm already dipping into the sick leave. I can only imagine what October will bring...

AW! I hope you feel better soon! My cats LOVE it when I'm sick, they curl up next to me and refuse to leave...although I am suspicious that it is because I am exceptionally warm. And I am a big fan of the cough syrup as well. Yum..=)

My Rx for you: 2 Tylenol, 2 Advil, one hot Neo Citran, go to bed. I kicked a cold in one day last week with that mix. Feel better!

While saucy's is probably more legit, my Rx would be make the boys do the housework, ignore the phone, keep the jamba juice flowin', and baseball...lots of baseball!

My goal is to always give the germs back!
