The First Monday of the Second Week

Today was difficult to get out of bed this morning. It wasn't because I had the Monday morning blues, I just didn't feel so well. Aches, pains, and much, much worse (I'll spare the details). To be honest, it probably was my own fault. I left the AC on 16, which is in the 50 degree temperature range.

I was brave though (something I'm not too good at). I went to school with a smile on my face even though I could barely see out of my puffy eyes. I got some pick-me-up meds from the campus nurse (how lucky we are to have one) and drank plenty of water. I felt better, but nothing close to 100%.

During lunch I was walking with the dead. I felt as if the world around me had come to a halt and everything moved in slow motion. I drank a smoothy with the PE teacher, Febri, and she said that during lunch lots of teachers go to the library or the health center to take a cat nap. What a genius idea! I went to the library, because I knew it was quiet there. Instead of chairs everywhere, many of the people use over-stuffed floor pillows - which definitely helped the comfort level. There were a few teachers and a number of my Grade 6 students that were cashed out. It didn't take long for me to doze off. Ten minutes later (after my nap), I got a second wind (which I really needed).

I finished my teaching and then worked on my Holes novel study (we're starting it in Grade 6 tomorrow! - yay!).

3:30 couldn't come any faster today. I was glad the day was over. The day itself wasn't too bad, but I was so glad to head home and finish all my school work before hitting the sack in the next few hours.

Thats it from this end. Love to all!
