Week in rewind

As luck would have it I have been sick for over a week now. It started last week-Thursday to be exact- after my first week at the daycare (as expected), COMPLETELY lost my voice! Dreams may have just came true for some but in reality I just squeaked like a baby T-Rex. So, I didn't didn't go to work Monday and was feeling better but still screeching. Talking with me was like a botched MAZE assessment. As part of a comprehension assessment three words are given every seventh word and students have to pick the word that best fits there. Wellllll, with me, your three options weren't there and it was more like every 4 words. 

SO I went to work Tuesday, feeling better with the exception of not really having a voice. They put me in with the babies seeing as how not much talking needs to be done versus the toddler room. 

Lucky me. 

Pink eye!!! 


Couldn't go to work Wednesday as I was pretty much crying boogers. This photo was actually Thursday after majority of the eye boogers stopped. BUT my eye was completely swollen shut! Usually they don't put you on antibiotics for pink eye, not for meeee! Thursday was quiet so work didn't need me anyway and I was still one eyed so I stayed home. 

I woke up Friday feeling ok so I called work asking if they needed me in as my eye clearly had something wrong with it, thankfully they didn't. I went back to sleep thinking it was really cold. That turned into the sweats. Then the chills. Sweats. Chills. All the while listening to the roofers, from next door, terrible 80's metal music. 

I slept the entire day. From about 9am to 6:30pm. Walking up here and there to cough up gallons of phlegm and re stuff my nostrils with tissue. I took the dogs out once on their flexi leads, sat at the bottom of the stairs and just held on. 

Stella and Mowgli kept me company all day while Ash worked. 


It is now Saturday and I'm feeling much better except for an awful cough. Fingers crossed that this is the only illness I will get while out here!!
