WELP.
There was a stomach bug that pretty much incapacitated 5 or 6 members of our school staff this past weekend. I thought I just had a cold, BUT NO. THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY.
Woke up at 3am to proceed to vomit all over the place. Well, actually, I am a trained singer, so I sucked up my nausea long enough to walk downstairs, drink a full glass of milk so I didn’t burn my vocal chords and grab one of our mixing bowls, so I could go up to my room and vomit from the comfort of underneath my blankets, rather than on our really disgusting bathroom floor into the toilet. LOVELY.
Today was going to be a really cool day, too! We are all going to wear green and jeans and have a potluck (oh, FUCK, thinking about food makes me sick), and the kids were going to decorate cookies and now I am going to be here, shivering in my bed, hoping I don’t vomit again. Dude, I even bought all of the trappings to make a really good salad last night and spent, like, $24 on it. FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK. So far, the days I have been absent have been (1) the field trip to the farm, and (2) GIVE day. THE MOST FUN DAYS. FUCK ME.
I hope people don’t think I’m faking it.
Well. I have some work I have to do, now. Normally I totally bullshit some parts of the day on half-day Friays, but I don’t want to leave my co-teacher hanging, that would seriously suck.
Ugh, I HATE being sick and I HATE vomiting. UGGGHHHHH
