Exhausted?
Whenever I get a cold, I take it as a signal that I’ve been working too hard.
This week has been tough. We finished our poetry unit, so that marking and teacher-parent-student negotiating has been intense. I had two basketball games and a practice. Midterm exams were due Thursday. My running mate and I pushed ourselves to an 8 kilometer run. And the weather is cooling off (finally).
So when I realized that my throat was a little rough last night and woke up more than a little groggy this Saturday morning, I decided to take a break.
No marking and no prep work. I’ve even skipped the gym to give my body a break.
