Sans voice

Well yesterday I was at work at feeling rather lethargic. This was an extension of how I felt on Saturday and much of Sunday. I felt really tired but pushed through the day, as most teachers I know would. I felt as though I could fall asleep at school but thankfully I made it through the day.

This morning I woke up with a croaky voice and feeling not the best. I think for about fifteen minutes I debated the merits of going to work and staying at home. Why is it that school teachers find it so hard to take a day off when they are feeling under the weather? It is ridiculous and defies logic, but there I was, seriously contemplating how I would get through the day. Positively ridiculous but I seriously contemplated going to work. Better judgement prevailed.

It has been a largely uneventful day. I went for a walk this morning with my husband and then had a coffee. I spent the morning and early afternoon doing some marking (at the local library which is like a sanctuary) The rest of the afternoon has been spent on the lounge, sleeping and intermittently watching the food channel.

I hope to be feeling stronger to go to work tomorrow. I have hardly said a word and my throat does feel much better. I am a little less tired but I know I will definitely get an early night's sleep (as I have every night for the last five or six days)
