Wednesday Afternoon Ramblings

Whatever illness this is, it’s wicked and mean.  It started as a sinus infection and then began acting like the flu.  I’ve had a raging headache, fever, a sore throat, joint aches, and pain in my lower back.  Please forgive the grossness of this, but the really odd part is that I’ve also developed terrible sores on my gums and soft palette.  The closest thing I can find that resembles my symptoms is coxsackie virus.  Regardless, it’s really painful and has me flat on my back.  I hope to be better soon, at least before the boys come up, so please send me lots of positive energy.

Hope all of you are hearty and hale and having a good holiday season.

Monday Evening Ramblings

I’m almost finished with grading, just one more section to go.  Despite a wicked sinus infection and a pounding headache, I got a lot done today.  Thank goodness the college recognized the chaos created by the weather situation and extended our grade window to Wednesday morning at 9:00. I couldn’t have gotten done by today.

I’ll write a real post soon, as soon as I’m through this mountain of grading and over this sinus crap.  Something very cool happened on Saturday that I want to share, a major step forward for me.  For now, I’m gonna go curl in a ball and sob uncontrollably from this headache (Not really, but when I even notice a headache, it’s bad).  Hope you have a wonderful night.

Sunday Afternoon Ramblings

I really want to write a blog today, but my brain feels like melted Jello, so there aren’t many ideas bubbling up in the cauldron.  The only time I can ever remember being this exhausted was right after the birth of my first son, and I’m quite certain I could curl up in bed and sleep for a week.  Hopefully, once I get all of this grading finished, I’ll be able to write better entries again.  Right now, however, I simply have very little to offer, so please accept my apologies.
