What I hate more than being sick though, is being sick at a time when you are too busy to get sick. This weekend is one of those times. I am on duty this weekend which means that after class today (Saturday) I will go with the kids to bowling activity, watch them bowl for a while, throw a couple of gutter balls perhaps, and then usher them all back onto the bus back to school. Rest for a few hours and then get them back on a bus to go to the night market from 6-10 tonight. Not too bad, just a long day.
The bad part is that tomorrow is not a normal Sunday: tomorrow is Parent's Day. A normal duty weekend I would have to show up at 1 and be in charge of children for a few hours. Tomorrow however, I need to be at school in nice formal dress at 9:30 and we are not going to leave until 4:30 or 5. Not to mention I need to have countless conferences with parents and be the face of the math department since I'm chair this year. And then I teach again on Monday.
This weekend is going to be a marathon to say the least. A marathon without the added evil of a soar throat which is exactly what I woke up with this morning. I am praying to whatever deity will listen to me right now to just make this a common cold or even better, maybe just a soar throat from over-use (I was yelling a lot last night because we played Cranium at the Family Mart).
What I'm most nervous about though, is strep. I got strep throat at exactly this time last year and I am having a mini panic attack as I type this that it is a creepy deja vu thing going on this year. This weekend is just not the time to get strep throat! I have no time to rest and I need to be presentable and personable tomorrow!
Ugh, please God, please Buddha, please Taoist god, please don't let this be strep!!! :( I'll keep you posted...
