Sick
I feel like I have a bit of the flu. My throat was really sore Sunday night. I sort of thought it was just from yelling '1,2,3,4' over and over again at the dragon boat practice, but then my nose started running, and all my energy disappearing. I called in sick Monday night because I figured Tuesday morning would be too late. Sometimes it seems like more work to get a sub, but my muscles started aching more and more. I think on some psychological level I am sick of marking and running from one activity to the next. The homily at church on Sunday was about being still to experience God's presence. I didn't think I would have time this week, but now it seems I have. In a strange way it's been a relaxing day amidst being half-awake and in and out of strange dreams. I will now be much more sympathetic to the sick students in my class. I had been getting a little fed up about organizing papers for them when they were absent. Hopefully tomorrow I will have more energy.
