Still sick

And bored out of my mind!

I had to stay home from work again today, and I felt pretty guilty about that. But when I got up to get ready this morning, I was completely exhausted within 10 minutes, and I felt like I was coughing up a lung. Thankfully, I can make up the missed days with the kids on Fridays. The kids won't be happy about it, but at least I won't feel like I'm short-changing them because my immune system is crap.

Let's just say, I've been reminded this week of the #1 reason I quit teaching in the first place. I was always sick. And I didn't even teach little kids!

I'm at that stage of illness where I'm not sick enough to be content with just lying around anymore, but I'm too sick to actually do anything. I desperately want to clean my house, but considering that I can't sit still without coughing, I don't think that's gonna happen.

Steven and I were instant messaging, and he had a few boredom-busting ideas for me:
~craft some cards (not feeling creative)
~make a dessert (because people LOVE to eat things made by sick people!)
~draw a picture of the cats with crayons (that would so not be pretty since I'm not artistically inclined)
~play with Star Wars action figures in my dollhouse (I asked him I could put all his stormtroopers in the nursery)
~try juggling, specifically cat juggling (I would like my furry children to still love me)

Yep, I married a comedian. And I'm still bored.
