Surely No-one is Surprised

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!
