sick again

so i've been extremely sick the past few days... NOT enjoyable. even with dayquil, my old friend, it's still a crappy time. on top of the illness (that's been going on for a week and a half now), my beau decided he didn't want a relationship. awesome. our break-up started last wednesday, on valentine's day, and continued through the weekend. additionally, my car died two days ago, so i spent $500 fixing the stupid thing.

if i had had an office job, i probably would've been able to make it today.

if i only had to deal with ONE of the above problems, i probably would've been able to make it today.

however, neither of the above cases hold, so i took (another) sick day. (i was out yesterday for the same reasons, plus i was stuck in another city because of my car.)

i'm really not sure where i'll be 6 months from now. as usual, i'm debating the teaching thing. my principal, who's now on her 4th career, told me that when she was fresh out of college, she was nowhere near ready to teach. she said she needed to do some other things first, to mature, and then she was a classroom teacher for almost 15 years. inspirational. i, however, have NO clue what to do at this point in time. i'm obviously staying with my class for the remainder of the year (just a tad bit over 3 months left in the year). considering all that i've been through this year, i'd say that's progress.

anyway, i don't mean to be a downer, but i thought i'd check in with y'all and let you know why your favorite first-year teacher has been slacking on the writings lately. i hope you're doing well, and that your professional and personal lives are exactly where you want them to be.
