SICK and TIRED

One of the blessings of the past year is that I haven't been sick once. Well, that amazing blessing is over. I am now reminded of how blessed I was to not be sick.

It started with a strange cough.
I was expecting it to turn into something more.
But it is still just a cough that has gotten worse.
Along with losing my voice.
Try teaching with that kind of voice.

Who knew a cough could be so draining. My schedule the past 5 days (and this is NOT typical) was teach school, all the while coughing in my sleeve every 2 minutes (don't think I am terrible. I just couldn't afford to be home from work for 5 days), hustle home, grab something to eat on the way, take a hot bath, curl up in front of the TV and DO NOTHING for 5 hours before climbing into bed and sleeping sitting up.

The schedule is the same tonight. It is no fun being sick, but it is even worse when you don't have anyone to take care of you when you are! I have also now realized how BORING it is to sit home all alone, even when sick.

Next week I am getting out of this house. I really am, and I am headed to...TEXAS!

I'm sorry it's so bad...but don't worry, we're coming with a little something to cheer you up! It might rhyme with smumpkin cookies.

The cookies were delicious Kim! Thanks for stopping. I hope no one gets sick! I do think they did the trick. I am feeling much better today.

Steve says you should go to the doctor, it could be walking pneumonia. He says antibiotics would make you feel much better. Miss you!!!
