Well, today I was home from school. I was sick. Scratchy throats, clogged nasal passages, and runny red eyes never mix well with school hallways, homework, and thinking. When I walk through the hallways with a cold, every sense seems heightened. A shout down the hall rings through my head and causes a headache. Staring at the white board, or those tiny black letters on a page, makes my eyes hurt.
So today I slept. I had some chicken noodle soup. I wore my fuzzy slippers and a big sweatshirt and pretended to be a bum in my own home. Sometimes you need a day to rest and give your body some rejuvination. Sick days are perfect for that.
Tomorrow, though, I am headed back to school. Time to break out the tissues and get some work done! Hopefully all of the vitamin C I consumed today will kick in. I am grateful for the relaxation that God gives us- even in the form of sick days- but I am very glad to be rid of this cold.
Ah, those days when you can just sleep, and get well! I'm glad you were able to do that. I'm sure your body needed that.
ReplyDeleteI like your first paragraph. You made me feel miserable!
