I have to admit I am sick

I have to admit I am sick.  Not so sick that I can't function, but awfully darn close.  It started yesterday, I could tell something was coming on.  By last night I had such horrible chills and was miserable.  I felt better after dinner though, and some hot tea helped even more.  I was worried about how I would feel this morning, but because I am subbing for the Health teacher who practically schedules his appointments around me, I didn't want to cancel my job.  I went to bed early, although I couldn't really sleep, but woke up this morning feeling much better...at least while I was still in bed.  After exerting my effort to take a shower,  I quickly realized I was in for a long day.  As I was walking into school, I was really beginning to wonder how I was going to bel able to make it through the day.  I was very grateful that I didn't need to cover any other classes, and I even began to think that if I could just make it through the first two classes, I could leave and I had a plan for how they could cover the rest of the day.  I was coughing and I ached.  No fever though, so I keep telling myself that I can't really be that sick.  I have a church council meeting this evening, but I already sent an email explaining that I don't think I will be there.  About the middle of the morning I started feeling really good again, and was beginning to think I have overreacted about everything and was just fine.  And then the cold medicine and Ibuprofen began to wear off, and ugh again.  I am looking forward to going home, medicating, wrapping up in a blanket, and sleeping.  I am scheduled again tomorrow, but I am optimistic this is just a cold, and this will be the worst day of it.  And for tonight, we have dinner all ready to go so I can just veg the entire evening.  Can't deny it though, I am definitely sick, even if it is just a cold!
