Today I woke up with another headache and a head stuffed full of snot, and I maintained my plugged up state right up until now, as I write this. Rather than give you the full details on being sick, it suffices to say that I am still sick and hoping for a recovery by the weekend.
The history teacher was worried about me today – he said that my eyes look tired. He said that usually my eyes are like a hawk’s… always alert and looking around. He said that instead my eyes look like a, well, he couldn’t think of a suitable animal to compare it to. He just said I look tired.
Despite being tired I managed to teach two classes today, and they went pretty well considering. It was a new lesson, and I really enjoyed it. Despite feeling crappy during the day, teaching in front of a bunch of crazy students really cheered me up.
Right after my classes I went home to try to get some rest. I cleaned up around the house and then decided to lay down and take a nap. I slept soundly until Kuniko got home, and she cooked us up a great dinner of mabodofu donburi. Now I’m typing this out as she’s in there doing the dishes, and I’m experiencing sick husband guilt.
Tomorrow I’m hoping to find the road to recovery – I’m eager to be able to taste my food again.
