Giving of gifts

I would really love it if my kids ever gave me a gift.

Let me clarify that.

A nasty head cold that spreads into your lungs and gives you nosebleeds is not a gift. If it were, then I would have to write a thank you note to some disease-carrying child who sneezed on one of my desks last week, as I have been dying since last weekend.

I continued going to work, as I have no sick days. Four other teachers are out from this cold, but teaching chess consists of me stumbling around the room with tissue. I finally went to my doctor today. I've been trying to get in since Wednesday, but he didn't have any openings. I'm now on a five day treatment of some antibiotic called Ketek, or Ketek for any dyslexic readers out there. He said I should begin feeling better tomorrow, and watch out for things like bloody diarrhea and blurred vision. Fun.

I am still miserable and crabby this evening, and it hurts to touch my head. Since I'm on my own tonight, I had a healthy dinner of chocolate cookies and cheese, with a healthy kick of cholesterol.

I also watched some episodes of Six Feet Under from Netflix and cried for a short time, but that's a whole different ball game.

John Wayne, John Wayne, John Wayne....
