Yes, I have been walking around looking like a zombie/living dead this week (people have looked at my face/eyes and been very concerned) - I was horribly sick this last weekend, it hit sudden and fierce and terrible Saturday afternoon, but the fever was all gone by Monday morning so I tried to get back to everything, but I'm EXHAUSTED and dragging around and apparently my face/skin/eyes look pretty bad.
Yes, I was carrying around a Starbucks cup today, and drinking from it - a very sweet teacher I work with was so thoughtful, and knowing I'm still trying to recover my voice from when I was horrifically sick over the weekend, she went to the trouble of getting me a box of throat soothing herb tea bags and a Starbucks insulated cup, complete with snug fitting lid, filled with HOT steamy water, and I took it around with me, sipping from it and it helped so much - Thank You!
Yes, I was suddenly woozy today while on duty supervising Kindergartners during their lunch and I nearly passed out and had to go to the office to lay down - I haven't felt like eating, at least not swallowing, and I think I was just way exhausted and dehydrated today (there was another aide there along with 2 junior TAs so the Kinders were fine, and someone else joined them shortly)
Yes, today while driving in town I had a white stick-like object hanging from my clenched lips - it was a thermometer, I was determining whether my fever had returned.
By this afternoon, after all this, when I realized what the slim white electric thermometer must look like hanging from my lips, on top of all the other things too, I bust up laughing, for half a second because it really hurt to laugh and the thermometer fell out (by the way - the fever didn't sore up again, in fact I'm a normal temp, I'm just still getting my strength, and voice, back)
