I really hate days like today. I went to bed last night with a terrible headache and an upset stomach. I am sure it is some random bug I have caught from the kids at school, but it still makes me nervous. I didn't sleep well because the last time I felt similar to this I ended up with no movement on my right side. I keep hoping that eventually I won't feel like this any more. That every time I get sick, I won't automatically think the worst. Of course the rational part of me knows that even high school students carry around a ton of germs and that sometimes, I am going to be sick thanks to them. I mean let's face it, everyone gets sick sometimes, and that "everyone" includes me.

Thankfully, I am mostly distracted by the fact that one week from today I will be leaving to visit friends in NYC, and as nervous as I am, I am about 50 times more excited about getting out of town for a couple of days.

On another exciting note, one of my former students who I now work with (how weird is that...makes me feel old) is going to be in NY the same time I am, and is going to propose to his girlfriend (I taught her too!). He is going to call me so I can maybe come sneak a peek of the big question. :cheer:
