Man, have you ever had that pressurized feeling going right through the top of your head. That is how I feel right about now. Ever since Saturday night, I have felt a growing trend toward sickness. Alas, my body could not ward off the evil that has fallen upon it. Now, I can barely talk, my head aches, my ears feel doubly warm, and my throat, the worst of all, hurts whenever I swallow. Yesterday, I drank an excessive amount of water and juices and, believe me, with my small bladder, that was not such a great idea. But, my throat was less dry. This morning, I was supposed to go in to work...believe me..missing work is not good for a teacher...it puts you behind so much. I emailed my subplan in to the secretary, but I have no idea if the email system/network is back up or not. I do not have a fax so that defeats that purpose and I am not about to go out and get a fax or go anywhere period. You're probably wondering how I am able to write this without jumping right back into bed and not gagging? Well, I am in bed and this is a laptop...hehe. (I can't really laugh right now...really hurts, but I can pretend).
Meanwhile, as I was saying earlier about those people winning the lottery? I give them props for succeeding where millions have not, gaining at gambling on a weekly basis. Millions of others pray and pray and give $1 or more a week to the lottery gods and have nothing to show for it. And, the sad thing is? Most of these people probably have better things to do with that money and probably do not have it to spend like that but hope that they win anyway by playing. Money, it drives so many of us to do the weirdest things. But, that is another subject for another day.
