Being sick

It all started last Friday -- yeah, that's right -- over a week ago.  Stuffed up, sore throat, headache, bodyaches, and the constant perspiration.  I could NOT stop sweating.  It was disgusting.  Last Friday was a day off and I slept all day and all night.  Saturday came, I slept all day and all night.  Sunday morning -- a bit of a window -- I felt not bad but not great either.  I managed to get up and stay out of bed until about supper time.  Then I slept all night.  Monday was the start of a long stint in a grade one room.  By mid-day, I had no voice.  Got home that night and crashed...slept from 5PM until my alarm went the next morning.  Tuesday, I arrived at school and the office staff took one look at me and had another teacher come in to cover me by 10AM.  On my way home I stopped at a "walk-in clinic"  that did not take walk ins??? Gotta love our healthcare system.  In the end, I decided I would rather sleep the 2 hours than sit in a strange doctor's waiting room so I ventured home rather than seek out another clinic.  Slept the rest of Tuesday away, Wednesday away, Thursday away....  Finally on Thursday, my voice was back.  Friday I was back at work.  Last night, I got home and got the nastiest migraine I have ever gotten... went to bed at 7PM.  Guess who was already sleeping?  That's right, N.  So this vicious sick cycle continues...     help us!!
