While all my teacher friends went back for “Teacher Day” today, I am at home sick. Who would have thought that taking too much Vitamin C in a 24 hour period would cause my body to spiral out of control. I was trying to defeat the head cold that was coming on, and ended up with a whole other problem. I won’t get into gory details, but let’s say I spent Labor Day, my last official day of summer, mostly laying down, not moving around much. You’d think spending 14 hours in bed would help, but it didn’t completely kick what was going on.

So this morning at 6:45am, I had to call in sick on the first day of the 2010-2011 school year. I’m hoping this is my only sick day. I never take days off. But today, my body was too unpredictable once again, to go out in public. The shower was difficult for me; forget sitting in meetings, talking, and working in my classroom. And too bad whole problem had to be the same day my friend got us free Yankee tickets. No Yankee game for me tonight…
