Found

Despite the vitamin C every morning and hand sanitizer throughout the day, sickness found me. I thought if I had made it through March I had conquered the "sick student bug". However, I was wrong and home bound for two days. After being out on Thursday, I woke up Friday morning, felt awful, but tried to get ready for work. I looked at myself in the mirror and knew that no one needed to see me this sick. I promptly called out and sent sub plans to a co-worker. I always feel bad being out of work, but I know that it's better for everyone if I take the time I need to get better and not spread my sickness. Now I am feeling much better and will be in to finish closing the third quarter grades on Monday.
