Blink and it's gone.
The last two days have been a bit of a blur.
Tuesday, my principal, came into my classroom and asked if I could sit with the health sciences class in the afternoon. Combining two classes as varied as health sciences and electricity precludes any actual teaching. It is impossible to teach one class and babysit the other. However, it was to be in the afternoon, which are my smallest classes.
Then, about 9 am, one hour into the day, the secretary calls me and asks if I can come down early. It seems the teacher that was watching the class got too busy to do it. So, there I am, babysitting the rest of the day.
One of my students, a senior and football player told me that he didn't want to be in Health Class. He wanted to go to carpentry. I told him that wasn't his decision. He decided to enlighten me. He told me, "Mr. S, you just don't understand. You have been here only a year. I have been here for 4 years. As a senior and a football player, I get to do whatever I want. When I get in trouble, it just disappears. You will catch on."
Needless to say, he did not go to carpentry.
I did manage to hack the computer of the health teacher, so I could work on my powerpoint presentation. After school, I had 2 hours with my Resource Teacher Advisor. I noticed that my throat was getting sore and my head was getting stuffy. Tammy picked me up and we came home. On the way, I called my DR and got advice. My grandson and step son both have strep, so, most likely I had strep. My DR advised that I not go to work the next day. I called my school secretary at home and told her the news. She got me a sub.
I came home and went to bed. It was the weirdest thing. All night long I had the same recurring dream and woke up every hour. Every time I woke, I looked at the clock and it was some hour:forty-five. I peed every hour. I chilled and then I sweated. It was a lousy night. The day was about the same. I am now on meds, so that is better. Add to that, the fact that Tammy is doting over me and taking very good care of me.
I hope to be back at work tomorrow. I wont be up to 100%, but I will be there.
