Sick

All the things I need within reach of my bed......

If you are a friend of mine on FB and/or elsewhere, you know that I have been under the weather. That's actually putting it mildly. I have never felt so crappy in I don't know how long. I am usually a pretty healthy person, comparatively, and to be sick for more than a couple days is taxing. It's been a week, 7 days, 168 hours of pure torture. I am sneezing, coughing, dizzy, achy (sp?) and SO tired. I took 2 days off last week and then had a pro D which I went to, although I regretted that decision and then the weekend, and now another ProD which I also went to cause I was presenting, and now I am at home in bed. I am not made for illness. I get stir crazy. I know that I have work I NEED to do ( it's report card season) and I have NO time to be sick!! I am not the type of person to lie around and lounge all day for days on end. Once and a while sure, but 7 days of it and I get so frustrated by my inability to function in a vertical position for any length of time I want to SCREAM!! So after 5 days of having the pressure of knowing that report cards are due on Friday and not being mentally able to for a coherent sentence to save my life, I decided enough is enough, "body" I said, "you are going to function and I am going to write report cards, enough of this crap, you will perform" and I did. I wrote half of my comments in one day! My head was not happy, but I don't have time to just lay there. I need to be productive. Granted, I can lie in bed while typing (yeah for laptops) but forced myself to do the work. So now I am again lying in bed ( I never thought I would spend so much time in one place that I would start to hate it, but much more of this and I will start to hate my bed GASP) and writing. First this blog entry and then report cards. I am not back to my old self, and I am not sure if this entry made any sense or said anything worthwhile, but I am coming out the other side of this illness, which I have labelled the "cold on steroids with a side of mind altering hallucinations" and I hope that I won't relapse cause I couldn't take that. I have had ENOUGH, enough I tell you!!
