It's become something of a back-to-school tradition: the children return from summer break, and a week or so later I get sick.
The kids came back two weeks ago, and seven days later I started to feel poorly. Sneezing, itchy throat, a burning in my chest. By that night I was coughing and aching all over, and my asthma began to flare. I ended up missing two and a half days of work last week and having to see the doctor. I'm still not 100% but definitely on the mend.
Yesterday a more recent back-to-school tradition took place: I had to go for jury selection. This has happened for the last three Augusts since I transferred to my current school. After missing half of last week, I hated to miss yet another day of work, but jury duty isn't negotiable. I'm just grateful that I didn't get selected, because they pulled jurors for cases for four hours. Almost everyone in the room got chosen for a case or two, so I guess I lucked out.
This morning I'm finally back to work. Hopefully there won't be any further interruptions for awhile, because I have a lot of catching up to do.
Those nasty, germ-ridden children have a lot to answer for. Hope you're feeling much better very soon.
ReplyDeleteJury duty AND a virus, you lucky girl you! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for bad, you'd have no luck at all! I hope you'll feel better soon.
ReplyDeletePhew - what a way to get back... Hopefully, as you say, that's it now for a while in terms of interruptions you could do without.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people around here have been sneezing and coughing, too; I blame the A/C on trains, planes and in cars.
Yes! Let's start a fresh new year with all the ways to prevent anything being easy. You poor thing.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lord! That is NOT a good start. Hopefully you're getting all your stress out of the way in one go so it will be smooth sailing from here on!
