Still sick…

So I’ve been getting questions…still sick? type questions. So here’s the update. Yup. Still sick.

Here’s the details for those of you sick enough to want to know (most of us are sick enough, I’m sorry to say)…Tuesday night I had the WORST sore throat and ear, so yesterday I went to the doctor to make sure it hadn’t turned into Strep or an Ear Infection. Nope. Viral. But I did make myself cough for the doctor, and she said it sounded “chunky”, and I should take some musenex…isn’t that what Cherry took when she was sick? It has helped a lot. Not coughing up anything, but my coughs are far less painful. I had fever this morning, but not much. I’m home today, but I did go into work and get some things I could work on and tried to get caught up, so I won’t be so overwhelmed when I go back tomorrow.

The good news? I’m feeling MUCH better today, and I’m sure I can go back to work tomorrow.

The bad news? I was supposed to drive Maya’s class (OK, not the whole class, but you understand) on a field trip to the San Jose Mission tomorrow, and now I don’t get to go. Too sick. They don’t want my snot on the kids. Prudes. Uptight people. Jerks. OK, just kidding. I know I shouldn’t go, especially since part of the field trip is to Coyote State Park, to see where the Ohlone Indians lived (they have a good exhibit there, I’ve heard), and it’s going to be a lot of outside in the damp and cold. So probably not the best experience for me right now. But the Ohlone Indians are the ones that worked Mission San Jose, and Mission San Jose is the one that Maya did her report on, and my mom was in a convent just blocks from there as a child, and boy, I wanted to go. Muh.

I was going to post a photo of me home today, so you could laugh at how horrid I look when I’m sick, but my vanity got in the way. Sorry.
