Day#1 - throat closure.  You know what's sick?  Sometimes I hope to get sick.  Yep.  Except that sick hurts, so I regret it. 

Anyway, I would like this whole illness thing to hold off until Wednesday.  I think I can afford to stay at home that day.  I would also like the illness to be serious enough to merit me staying home, while not serious enough to prevent me from working from home.  And then be gone by Thursday. 

You know what else is sick?  A 30 year-old woman trying to do a spiral.  Would you believe that that's NOT what my spiral looks like?  It's not like I've kept up my practice since I was 17 and oh, 17 lbs lighter.  You know, my leg was more flexible and not as heavy to lift into the air.  Though weight may not be a very strong argument as I got new skates and there are at least 3 tonnes lighter than my old skates.  Infact, given that reasoning, my spiral should look professional.  Alas, it's kind of ugly.  Think 75 degree angle. 

One more disgusting thing for the day.  I yelled at a French kid in French.  It was not merited and I never would have done the same to an English kid.  It's like there is still a part of my brain that doesn't think that French is real.  Anyway, I apologized.

My goal for tomorrow is to write English and French Reading and Writing comments and marks.  Ambitious? Yes.  Doable?  If I do it it is!

I saw the most beautiful thing I have ever seen a child so.  Another time.

Once again, I'm sick.  A large proportion of the *people* I work with and work for are also sick. 

I've been saying "It's definitely not the (insert dreaded disease)! My sister who is a pharmacist and therefore has the medical knowledge and intelligence to diagnose me from 800km on the phone said so!  I don't feel like I've been run over by a truck, merely knocked over on the playground."

So maybe the 159 other people that are absent from my work place have the (insert dreaded disease) as the news this evening may have suggested, but I don't.  I have some sort of illness that I'm sure is unique and special and has not had any sort of international recognition whatsoever in the past few months.

I'm sure of it.

Pray for me!
