Sick

Last Thursday I came down with the nastiest cold. Quite unpleasant and very difficult to tutor children while sneezing and coughing continuously (not to mention blowing my nose). I was pretty much on the couch all weekend under a blanket and continue to feel lousy today, despite popping copious amounts of Advil Cold & Sinus. December usually is the prime time for colds, but come on now, I live in the desert. This is like having a cold in the summer, which completely sucks. I haven't been able to run in 4 days and the only reason I am grateful to not be heading state-side sooner is that hopefully this cold will be kicked before we come home so that I can enjoy all the delicious American food waiting for me (and actually taste it)... Grrr... I knew working with children was going to catch up with me sooner or later with all their disease carrying capabilities... For now I guess, more OJ and homemade turkey soup...
