One thing my students are really good at doing is sharing their germs. Big time.
It's inevitable that they will get me at some point or another during the year. While getting sick is never any fun, the worst part of it is I can never seem to get better. Between not being able to take really any time off work and being constantly surrounded by germy children, once my immune system is struck, it's down for the count.
I got some flu type thing and then after that, I developed a serious
sinus infection. So for the past two weeks, I have been feeling completely
gross. Pretty much all of my time not spent teaching was spent sleeping.
Lucky for me, I have some doggies that love to snuggle and have a sixth
sense about how I am feeling. Here they are curled up together, and yes, that's me squeezed against the back of the couch. They aren't so good at giving me any personal space.
Needless to say, I have not been keeping up with my February goals - or really much of anything besides naps for two weeks straight (I can just hear people saying "And that's different how?!"). But I am finally feeling better, and with the day off school tomorrow, I am hoping to get back into everything I've been slacking on. As for Brad, he managed to ward off most of the germs, despite my best effort to share them. He did fall off the Insanity wagon a bit this week, but he claims he is starting right back up in the morning. So for both of us, here's to getting back up and trying again!
