I had hoped that I’d be at 100% by now, but unfortunately I’m still coughing away, usually in the middle of the night. It is a vicious cycle – once I start coughing once or twice it makes it much more likely that I’ll cough again soon. My stomach and chest muscles are getting sore from the effort. <\/p>\n
But enough about my health… Yesterday at work I had a full day without any classes. In my job free time is a luxury. Usually I have about an hour for lunch, and then about another hour chopped up into little pieces between classes throughout the day. That means I’m always “on” and there isn’t much time to take care of the little stuff, like paperwork piling up and textbooks to evaluate and new English learning apps online. <\/p>\n
So this week is kind of a luxury for me, and as an added bonus, there is no need to speak during the day so my throat can work on getting better. Very, very nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
