Sick (again)

Today marks day three of missing a workout.
One of the unfortunate aspects of being a teacher is that you are around kids all day. One of the unfortunate aspects of being around kids all day (other than the name-calling and the hair-pulling) is that kids (especially sophomores) lack the proper hygiene to know when a tissue is necessary; hence, they are always sick; hence, I am always sick. Case in point: I have been so sick, so often, this year that I was recently given the "Sneezy Seven-Dwarfs" award (really?) at school (if you don't understand what this means...good, it's better that way). At least being sweaty and athletic is gross but cool. Being sick is just, well, gross. So, as far as the workouts this week go, there is nothing to report.
One of my (three) readers exclaimed that he wanted my entries to "pop" more...that he really wanted to "feel the pain". Well, the pain this week has been (thankfully) mitigated by Advil, Sudafed, Mucinex, and some sort of over-the-counter nasal spray that's been in the medicine cabinet for god-knows-how-long (maybe since before we moved in, actually). I assume that sinus pain doesn't really "pop". Hopefully by next week, I'll be able to share some pain that is unrelated to a cold, a sinus-infection, bronchitis, p-neumonia, or whatever else is currently taking residence in my lungs. Fingers crossed.

Today's blog is brought to you by Puff's plus and a myriad of other medications (which, now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't have combined).
