Catherine went back to school yesterday. I was a little concerned about her, but she had bounced back pretty well by mid-day. Yesterday I was working a split job at the high school. It actually was a pretty easy day as I had three plan periods between the two assignments, but I spent two of those periods in the band room working on things there. At one point while I was schlepping all of my things through the hallways, I realized my nose was really runny, and it usually isn't like that. I noticed it again after lunch and sure enough, by last evening I can tell I have a full-blown cold. The lady I had subbed for on Wednesday mentioned she had one and apparently I picked it up from her. I don't feel awful by any means, but since it is hitting at the end of this REALLY long week, I'm feeling absolutely drained.
After school I was able to get some things at home done that I needed to have for last night's band concert, and even close my eyes for about 20 minutes...bonus! As I was running around picking up Thomas and Robert from track practice (and running errands for band) Andrew called to let me know he wasn't going to his meeting and was heading home. Apparently he had manged to pick up Catherine's stomach bug. The good news is that his is significantly less violent than she had and he hasn't felt as badly as she did. He did stay home from school again today though, and I think that is a very good idea as he has two solid days of an extra-curricular activity that he advises at school being held this weekend.
Ironically, because he is off today, it means I've actually worked more than he did this week! I'm not sure when we are going to have some downtime next, but I look forward to it happening again eventually! I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that this is the end of the germs!
