(Caitie) Sick Sucks

There is no fun to being sick. I dislike it! I thought it would be fun to make a pro/con list of being sick and related it to health issues of various kinds.

BEING SICK:

Cons:

• SO tired. Even tiny things are exhausting, like teaching, walking, cooking, etc.
• Managing 21 nine-year-olds when you have no voice and little energy/patience is an extreme challenge
• I have to make my own soup at this point in my life. (**this reminds me of a certain ex, who shall remain nameless, who I asked to bring me chinese food when I was sick once. As I was eating the soup he brought, I got so exhausted by just sitting up that I leaned back and he, literally, shouted at me, "EAT IT!" Tenderness/Sensitivity was not his strong suit. When I think of these things, I am glad that I can make my own soup)
• I had to sneak upstairs when I got home AND set my phone alarm so that I could take a nap and wake up in time to take my dog out of her crate before her bladder exploded. Luckily, both of these things worked out.
• Can't go places, or lacking motivation to do so.
• Have no energy to work out! booooooooooooo

Pros:

• An excellent excuse for more naps.
• My appetite has decreased some because of my inactivity and the fact that I probably couldn't taste anything anyway
• Keeps me calm
• Makes me lower my voice
• Gives me a bit of a sexy tone- HA! jk
• I can't think of any more!
• I can make my own soup?

I'm proud of those of you who are sticking to your goals! I hope to be there with you when I get some energy back. (Sidebar: I just had to get up and clean a little bit of pee because I ignored Phebe's plea when my roommate came home with stories and it took ALL my effort to wipe up her pee. WTF?!)

HOPE FOR A SNOW DELAY TOMORROW SO WE CAN SLEEP IN!! My body is heavy, love you guys and goodnight.
