Migraine. It hit really early this morning. I made it through my 7th grade classes and stopped at the nurse's office in the middle school to check my temperature, which was normal. My stomach was sick-hungry, so I ate an apple and drove over to the high school, hoping some fresh air would help. Nope. … Continue reading November 8: I don’t have time for illness

April 16: My ears are inverted or something
My ears are popped or congested or something. I've tried everything: decongestants, irrigation, yawning, swallowing, pulling on it, shaking my head (just ended up dizzy), blowing my nose... all the tricks I know and that the internet knows. As a result, I seem to have lost 75% of my hearing. This is frustrating Annika to … Continue reading April 16: My ears are inverted or something
April 15: Snow and Sick Day
St. Paul cancelled school for tomorrow. Seeing the weather outside, I would say it was a really good choice, because the roads are terrible. I'm still sick with a stupid cold, so I'm staying home tomorrow and having a sub. I'm really disappointed, to be honest, because I don't want to miss a day, but … Continue reading April 15: Snow and Sick Day
February 23: Passersby were amazed…
I'm writing because I have to because I made a commitment to write every day this year. I've been sick in bed all day, which is kind of lonely, but it's good because I'm just tired. I have been perusing social media and watching internet fights here and there, but I don't even have the … Continue reading February 23: Passersby were amazed…
February 22: I’m Actually Really Sick
I've complained of feeling tired before on here, probably to the point that any potential regular readers are like, yeah, get over it. But this time, I'm really sick. Like OH MY GOD WHAT EVEN IS THIS sick. Like laying in bed wishing I could just be knocked unconscious for the duration of whatever demon … Continue reading February 22: I’m Actually Really Sick
February 21: NOOOooooooo!!!!
I stayed home because my son is sick with the flu. I ended the day with a prescription for Tamiflu because now I'm getting sick and the symptoms are close enough to flu that the online doctor visit prescribed it for me. And I didn't get my grading done because I was tired all day … Continue reading February 21: NOOOooooooo!!!!
February 20: Flu and Panic Attacks
The flu has arrived in my household. I feel terrible for Anders and terrified for myself, which is really selfish, but also really appropriate, considering the end of the trimester is next Thursday and I have so many things I have to do before then. I also feel worried for anyone else who we come … Continue reading February 20: Flu and Panic Attacks
February 2: Surprise Sick Day
So I went to school today. I felt a little better this morning; still a little tired, but able to make it to school. However, when I got there, a colleague said "You're here? I saw you on the sub list." It turns out that, indeed, I was on the sub list, so I called … Continue reading February 2: Surprise Sick Day
February 1: Sick Day
Today was the first day I stayed home sick since moving to Roseville. I "woke up" a little late - Dak came in and woke me up twice, actually - and got up to take a shower. I felt dizzy and after the shower, I just sat on my bed falling back asleep against my … Continue reading February 1: Sick Day
