Sick!

I just caught a cold, no, no it's not the Swine Flu, or should I use the more politically correct term, H1N1. It's just an ordinary cold with a mild sore throat, low grade fever but I'm bleary eyed and coupled with a runny nose, it's just not a great feeling.

It wouldn't be so bad if it's not also the exam week. On my good days it's already a pain to get them to do their homework and study, but when I'm down with a cold, it just takes misery to a whole new low.

Anyhow, they got through their revision, so they tell me and they are now in bed. I said their prayers with them and warned them sternly if I hear even a peep out of them, I'd switch off the air conditioner (it's an incredibly warm night).

I don't like me when I'm sick, I develop ogre like qualities and I feel and look like the Grouch on Sesame Street! Grrggh!
