I'm sick. My husband has lovingly shared his plague with me. So here I sit, at my student worker desk, literally surrounded by tissues, cough drops, cough medicine, and Earl Grey tea (the packets with the bags in them alongside my travel mug of the actual tea.)
In keeping with my ever-more-positive theme (See? And you thought I wouldn't try to change! For shame!), I'm going to point out the things I'm grateful for here:
-the hand sanitizer flows liberally, so I don't have to feel guilty about coming in while sick (I need the money desperately!)
-a tutor was kind enough to bring in a box of anti-viral Kleenex today--superbly well-timed!
-I had the money to buy cough/sore throat medicine last night
-I had the presence of mind to grab a box of tea this morning
-I have the easy job this morning and I get to sit on my butt and surf the web--Julie Powell's blog for the win! (In between diligently logging students in and out...)
The only things that could make my day better would be a large bowl of my father's chicken soup and the ability to have stayed in bed. Well, and the obvious not being sick, but it's a little too late for that one.
What I'm really dreading is facing this mental fog all day in class. And, of course, I have to get sick the day that I'm having a test in IO Chem and a test in Stats. Chemistry shouldn't be all that bad for me. We're doing Inorganics right now, which comes easily to me thanks to taking a chemistry class prior to this one. And, as God seems to be smiling on me today, I'm lucky because Stats will be an open book exam. (God love George Hudak. Seriously. The man is wonderful.)
Wish me luck! I may need it...
