Sickness and Health

For the past two weeks, I have been pretty sick. It's what my supervisor at the preschool calls "preschool-itis", basically guaranteeing that the ridiculous amount of germs and illness we teachers come into contact with on a daily basis will make any new teacher come down with the all too common cold.

I'm not perfect yet, but I'm pretty close to getting back to full health. For the past couple weeks, I have been coughing, wheezing, going through phases of complete voice loss, and other symptoms that made my daily life miserable. There were good days and bad, and it was especially rough to manage it all alone since I didn't have my parents to take care of me.

I honestly never thought I'd say this in my life, but I am so grateful today to be at the gym. I know, I know! It's crazy coming from me, but it's true. I'm finally back into my comfortable routine of walking the quarter mile uphill to the Claremont Club (my local health club/gym) and sitting myself at the cafe to write out a blog post before getting in a workout. It's strange, but I am so grateful to be back.
