Standing in the rain with only one layer of clothing on makes Giffy sick. Even if it is black "special ops" clothing. I'm glad I thought to put my polyprop shirt and long-john's on for Sunday. I'm glad drowninghail gave them to me for my birthday!
I am still going to school though 'cause 2 of my 5 classes are going a 3 day internal assessment. They are probably alright to be left alone now that I've started it, but I really needed to be there yesterday when I gave back their practice internal's and went through what they need to do for the actual one. No way a reliever could have done that.
Yesterday was also the day I felt most ill. I feel better today, but my voice has gone stupid. It keeps cracking and if I keep talking I start doing really pathetic sounding coughs. In fact if I keep breathing I start doing pathetic coughs.
To get the students attention rather than loudly saying good morning/afternoon at the beginning of the lesson, I've drawn a picture of a sad faced me with a speech bubble saying "I'm sick, please be quiet". I point at it. They kind of love it. When they start chatting I just stand there and look sad and they start shushing each other. It's weird. They keep saying how cute it is and how it *actually* looks *quite* a lot like me. They don't want me to erase it.
I drew a new one today. We'll see how it goes.
I watched Grey's Anatomy last night. I *should* have gone to bed early, I didn't realise it was a double episode or I would have. I think I have it on my computer anyway. I like Grey's Anatomy. I like to imagine that work is a bit like that for Beau, but that the female doctors are less foxy ;P
I want the ricochet shorts I tried on the other weekend more and more. They actually looked cute on me. I have issues with my legs ('cause of chubbiness) and so this is actually kinda a big deal. I want to get to a proper size 12 before I consider it though. Must do more exercise! Must get well first.
TO get well I have been: laying the Vicks VaporRub on thickly, taking yucky fortacold syrup morning and evening, taking a Healtheries suppliment containing garlic, echinacea and zinc, drinking a Yakult at breakfast, wearing many layers, including my hat. I also have some cough drops in my purse and I've gotten out the wheat bag and used it last night on my neck. Also changed the sheets to flannel ones.
Point of Fashion: Many many clothes
Current Obsession: Croaky voice!
Poor Giffy. I hope you feel better. Lemsips are fantastic I found. I spent yesterday at home (where I spent more time on the computer than in bed where I should have been) but I actually feel fine now. Really perky and hyper about Wednesday night.
I found out that one group some colleagues were in are screening tonight but there entry was too late (I could empathise with this) and another's is on Thursday. If I lived closer to Wellington I'm be tempted to go along 3 nights in a row.
Your drawing sounds awesome. So cute.
Posted by: Debbie at May 30, 2006 12:18 PMGrey's Anotomy is quite good really. Last nights episode, while so imporbable it was a touch ludicrous was a good watch. Christian Ricci was awesome as Hannah the paramedic.
I have a niggly cold (clearly not as bad as yours, more annoying that anything else) and it sucks, so I sympathise...
Posted by: matt at May 30, 2006 01:37 PMI also have a cold. It's a sneezy, nose runny, head muzzy slightly throaty cold.
It sucks. I am at work anyway, too.
Posted by: Jenni at May 30, 2006 02:54 PMGood news about the shorts :). Bad news about the cold :(.
Posted by: Rachel at May 30, 2006 03:14 PMDon't have too much of the cold, just an odd cough every now and again I am mainly just really tired. I had even less sleep last night that the night before which sucks!
People at work watched the movie (Nicks copy of DVD) and really liked it. So yay us!
Posted by: sam at May 30, 2006 04:02 PMI don't think the cold is too bad. It's much better today anyway. I think it was mostly tiredness. My voice sounds cracked and husky today so my picture on the whiteboard had a frog on it, since one is in my throat.
I am simply very, very paranoid that it could escalate into fullblown cold. That *must* not happen. Hence the many different cold stopping techniques! Did I mention I take my hayfever nasal spray to stop any nose runniness in its tracks! It works.
hope u be better soon.
