I hate to be dramatic and whiny but I think I’m coming down with something and that’s a little bit unfair since I was just sick with an unpleasant cold just recently. It should be illegal for a virus to strike you down within a certain time frame of another.

Last night I felt tired and drained so I actually fell into bed before 11 pm which is something I don’t normally do unless I have to be up extra early (such as my 5:30 am Breakfast Club mornings). I felt worse when I woke up around 1 am to pee, and I was grateful to fall back to sleep quickly after that.

At 6:30 am my alarm blared and I knew before I even lifted my head that things were not going well. I wasn’t quite dizzy, my head just felt fuzzy and off. I rolled out of bed after my nine minute “snooze” and immediately wanted to crawl back into bed. It was so bad that I was tempted to just not even wake Hayley up and to call in sick for her.

Of course I didn’t, since that would be silly. Besides, it’s end of term on Friday so they have a few tests and things to wrap up. On top of that, although tomorrow is Remembrance Day they were having the specially assembly for it in the gym today. They get a couple of war veterans to come in and all the classes do a presentation of some sort (Hayley’s class read a poem). I was able to attend last year and it’s extremely touching and I love that the veterans get to take part. They have their own ceremonies to attend on the 11th, so that’s why they held it today.

In the end I got her off to school and then I crashed on the couch until 11:30. I dozed on and off, getting up to get Breanna food and drinks, but other than that I was pretty much useless.

I had a meeting tonight and wasn’t sure if I could manage to go but I hate missing meetings so I dragged myself in. It wasn’t too bad; it only ran for 45 minutes and the zingy India Spice tea that I brought with me seemed to help me feel a bit better.

As for now, I’m sitting here with some decaf peppermint tea, I had a few cookies, and I plan on hitting my pillow as soon as this episode of Criminal Minds is over.

Tomorrow is yet another 5:30 wake-up call for Breakfast Club and I hate to miss that as well, so here’s hoping that I feel less zonked out when I get up!
