been a long time

Wow, has it really been since November? This has really fallen by the wayside. Now here it is, almost the end of January. Where has time gone? It goes so fast. I remember when I was in school, time seemed to drag. Now it is gone before I know it.

I've been home the entire last week due to illness. I still don't feel ready to return to work, but I have to go. It should be interesting to see how many sentences I can get out before going into a coughing fit. I should make it a game for my students - maybe then they'll actually be listening the first time and I won't have to repeat myself.

It's funny about being sick, though. I crave things that I normally wouldn't. For instance, I don't like tomatoes, but tomato soup is one of the few things I have enjoyed eating this week. I also don't frequent KFC, but I was longing for their mashed potatos the other day, so my good friend Erica was kind enough to get some for me. :-) And I like water, but I have been drinking a lot of it this week. And what happened to losing weight when ill? I think I gained a few pounds instead. I'd like to think it's water weight due to the excessive amount of water I've consumed.

I've probably watched entirely too much television, as well. But I could not focus on anything for very long and there is no thinking required to watch TV. Besides, I usually just fell asleep. It is kind of nice, though, to have an excuse to be a lazy bum for a week, even though it wasn't all that enjoyable.
