Backslide

I felt pretty icky all day. My cough is as bad as it was on Monday when I went to the doctor. I took my last prednisone this morning, so I'm hoping to get that out of my system completely in short order.

Work tomorrow should be pretty stressful with the meeting I'm not looking forward to having. Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight.

Today I learned that I've eaten too much over the last couple of days. I need to get better and get out of the friggin' house.

Progress

I feel marginally better, probably thanks to the average of 14 hours of sleep per day I'm getting. I also got some work done on a paper and an IEP today. Not enough forward motion, but this weekend should be pretty bland. Poor Troy had a hard beginning to his work week, so he'll need the weekend to rest up as well.

The weather is turning, and I'm very glad. I'm ready for it to get cold.

Today I learned that my substitute has been following my plans too closely- she wouldn't let the speech language pathologist take the kids she needed to see because I hadn't left it in my plans. Sheesh.

More Ickiness

I slept until about 1 pm today, with an hour up and around about eight. So, last night, I got about 14 hours of sleep. And I'm exhausted again. My goal is to stay in the house until Friday morning when I absolutely have to go back to work. Most of the prednisone will be out of my system and I can get some more rest over the weekend. I'm scared that grad school isn't going to have such great rewards for me this semester. So much for straight As- I guess killing myself to get them isn't a good idea, eh?

The trip to DC, or what I remember of it, was good. There was an awful lot of medicine in me most of the time. Unfortunately, I cannot get the image of changing Nana's diaper out of my head. Poor Nana- its so sad to see her wearing nearly every piece of clothing she owns. She's always been kind of spacy, so that's not such a shock at this point. I really enjoyed hanging out with Teresa so much. I wish she lived closer, but I don't think the quality time would be so quality if I saw her more. I think the fact that our time together riding around and taking care of family is so seldom that we can really take advantage of it.

Well, I'm pooped now. Time to go lay down. Maybe I have mono. That's the last time I felt so tired.

Today I learned that my boss is pretty cool after all- she'll leave the PTO meeting at 9 pm and drop off a disk I need at the house. Just so I'll feel better and don't have to go out.
