Empty

So, my joy at completing my grades was short-lived. Though school was cancelled the next day due to snow (first time in my teaching career that I've had a snow day), I got sick with some stomach virus.

I spent most of the day on Tuesday flat on my back in bed, and totally devoid of an appetite. It was not a restful or restorative day; it was a sick-day. This morning, back at school, I ate a light breakfast and discovered that I am still sick.

I made it through the day, but was pretty queasy for most of it.

Even now, this evening, I am still not feeling well, still have no appetite, and definitely not much energy.

I think I ran myself into the ground over the past couple weeks.

I need to take better care of myself.
