blech!

posted by [personal profile] laurainlimbo at 05:34pm on 20/05/2010
Well what I thought was allergies turned out to be a full-fledged cold, and I've been miserable for over 24 hours. When I left for work yesterday morning, all I had was a runny nose and a bit of congestion, but after teaching five classes to kids all day, my voice was completely shot! By the time I got up this morning, I had no voice at all. And even though I went to bed early last night, I could hardly sleep with all the congestion - plus I think the medicine I took kept me awake. So I ended up calling in sick today so that I could sleep - plus I couldn't really see my self trying to teach classes with no voice. I've been sleeping most of the day today, but I'm still feeling pretty rough - and now I have a headache to top it all off! I know I have to go into work tomorrow though - I can't really miss two days in a row with this job. I felt guilty enough missing today (even though I was scheduled at the junior high school, and three classes would have been with the teacher who hardly lets me teach)..

anyway, I've gotta go eat dinner and go back to sleep - if I can! just thought I'd let everyone know I'm not ignoring you - I'm just pretty miserable!

hope you're all well!

the weather patterns have been weird everywhere, so that probably explains the colds going around everywhere in the world. at least that's probably why I got sick. that and singing loudly to five classes of 10-11 year-olds! at least that's why I lost my voice - LOL!

my immune system is winning at the moment. let's hope it continues!

you take care too!

Ugh! I hear you. When I came down with a cold last week, I couldn't tell if it was a cold or allergies. I started coming down with it at my sister's house, and I figured that maybe I was reacting to something she was growing outside. Nope. It was a cold. And the damn thing hit me pretty damn fast too.

Oh...and you're wise for calling in sick because you have no voice. Stupid me has tried teaching a class with no voice several times now, and it never works out well. The only reason I show up is because a) I tend to lose my voice a lot ever since I had the PE and b) I'm on a very tight schedule with my classes. My final exams are departmental, and if my classes don't learn some of the material, they're hosed.

Get some rest and I hope you feel better soon. (hugs)

yea it's weird - this same kind of cold happened to me awhile back in the states too. it started out as lots of sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose... I was sure it was hayfever. but then it went into my chest and throat, and I knew it was a cold. this one snuck up on me fast! the sneezing was done soon, and then I lost the voice!

I am lucky I lost my voice after teaching the five classes of kids. at least with the junior high classes, I can count on the teachers to take up the slack. with the elementary kids, I'm the one doing all the talking and singing! that's probably why I lost my voice - LOL!

are you teaching at a college?

thanks - I'm resting all weekend, and I should be fully recovered by MOnday! at least I hope I am since I have five more kids classes! yikes!

*hugs*

Aww no! At least you know the cold will pass, right? Allergies you could have been stuck with...

Nevertheless, I hope you get over it really quickly!

*passes the honey and lemon*

that's true - allergies are an ongoing thing. my cold is on the way out, I can tell. but i'm still being careful not to overdo it this weekend. just reading, lesson planning and a little light cleaning.

mmmm honey lemon - I'm all out of the tea you sent me before!

*hugs*

oh that's lovely - if you can send more that would be great! but I haven't send you anything! I found out that my local post office is closed on Saturdays, so it's really hard for me to mail stuff. I have a few Hello Kitty things, and if I get more, I'll mail them.
I can actually get Peppermint tea here, and I didn't really fancy the fruit teas, but I loved the honey lemon and the chamomile. do you have anything like almond or other exotic flavours? also I love white tea and I can't get that here either. but whatever you have would be great!

thanks!!!!
what else do you want from good old Japan?
*hugs*

Ah, sug, I hope you feel better soon... like now! *laughs*
And I need to apologise to you for not keeping up with your posting. I'm going to try to get caught up today, if possible, so if you see tons of random comments to long posted journal entries, that's me. XD

thanks - I'm feeling much better, but still have a bit of a sinus headache. it will pass soon!!

and please don't apologize for not keeping up with my posts. I have been terrible at replying to yours too - in fact I meant to read and reply to a couple of yours last week, but then between my back problems and my cold, I just couldn't sit for long periods at the computer.

I do appreciate the random comments - LOL! drop by anytime! and I hope you're feeling a bit better. I know you were feeling low recently.

*lots of hugs*
