Sick -- AGAIN!!!

I am so tired of fighting every damn virus that comes across my path. This is my third illness this school year, and it's not even Thanksgiving! I have been dragging around the house like some huge, disgusting slug for the past four days. The weekend was a total wash-out, and I got absolutely nothing done! My head feels like a weighs seventy pounds, and every time I swallow, it feels like my head will implode because my ears are so plugged up. Why, oh why can't they find something to make colds go away?

In case you're wondering -- YES, I do wash my hands. Like, a thousand times a day. My skin is so dry from it, the knuckles are cracking and bleeding! But, what are you going to do when a first grader sneezes directly into your eyes? Spray Windex in them? (Think My Big Fat Greek Wedding)

Anyway, Thanksgiving break is only six more school days away, and I could REALLY use to break to allow my poor beleaguered immune system to ramp back up. I could also use the time to try to start a new exercise program -- that should also do wonders for my tired immune system as well. Can't hurt to try, can it?
