Fever all through the night

I checked my paid time off balance on the District payroll website earlier this year. They list available time off in hours, forcing the mathematically challenged among us to bust out a calculator and divide the total hours listed by eight. I have 936 hours available. So math and stuff makes that 117 days. I should have used one today.

I feel like crap. My voice was gone this morning. I used a text-to-speech website  to talk to my students. I even found one with a lady robot voice. My muscles all hurt and I have a headache, which is very unusual, because my head typically feels fine. I chalk that up to limited use. 

I spent my day with a cup of tea in my hand. Kind of glad I had some laying around in my classroom. 

So, not a red-letter day for me. I'm pretty sure my classroom maintained a consistent temperature, but I was feeling that interval of hot and cold that only comes when you're way off your game. 

I got home and went to sleep until Cas called. I'm ready to go to sleep again, too. I have to shake this off, because actually taking one of my 117 days requires a level of prep work that I simply don't have the energy to do right now. I'm too tired to prepare lessons for a sick day. That is exactly why I have so many.
