Sick day

I haven't taken a sick day since starting my grown-up-working life in September, until today. I have this super nasty chest cold and feel disgusting and crabby. I was horrible to the kids (I'm a teacher) yesterday and so mean and crabby, I couldn't do it again today.

So today, I slept in, made lunch, watched TV**, replaced my stupid lost MetroCard (it's a yearly pass that is automatically deducted from my paycheck, so I had to go allll the way downtown to City Hall and get a new one), got grumpy because it was a hassle, and then went and attempted to lesson plan (didn't work out so well). And now I'm debating cleaning my horrifying mess of a bedroom. I still haven't unpacked from winter vacation (11 days ago) if that gives you any indication.

A HUGE thanks to the people who've emailed me or left comments, I really appreciate the support. I don't know what's going to happen with my mom but I'm so thankful she's getting the support she needs right now and is being open with me. This is the first time our relationship has been 100% honest. She's already gone to two AA meetings this week and just had her consultation tonight for her outpatient rehab, which will meet 3x per week for 3 hrs. She's told me all about the AA meetings and said she really likes them and feels so good about everything.

I just really don't want to clean my room right now, but I think it'll make me feel a lot better, maybe not as sick. Maybe I'll find my missing gloves. I have 2 pairs of gloves and can only find one of each of them. Major fail- especially on a frigid day like today.

Last thing, THANK GOD no one was injured in the plane crash today. It's unbelievable that the pilot was able to land the plane safely in the river and not in Manhattan.

**Ok I lied, this is the last thing. This is what I watched on TV today. Screw trying to learn the dance to Single Ladies... this one is SO much easier and just as fun. Enjoy... I know I did.
