I made it almost until lunch yesterday before taking the rest of the day off. Until I began working in an elementary school I took for granted my quality of health. Your immune system is not inately set up to battle the germs of hundreds of sick children. I used to feel like everytime a child sneezed on me I was going to come down with the flu, and most of the time I did. This year I have been pretty successful at avoiding it; washing my hands every hour, germ gel, drinking lots of water, maximizing my vitamin c, etc. Yesterday that all came crashing down - I spent the afternoon under the covers, not exactly how I pictured the week starting off. Despite this set back, I am back at work today (half-speed ahead) and making the most of it.
