In service day

I remember this feeling. You coax yourself to get through the stack. After 5 practice essays and 60 real ones you want to throw them across the room. There were teachers in front of me drom my 6th grade that wouldn't shut up. It made it very difficult to concentrate. I wanted to yell at them. Decided not to and left. I finished quickly went back to my school and checked out 100 books for a teacher.

I came home, dug out the cold pills, thermometer, cough syrup and climbed into bed.
My temp was 101. I drank mint tea all morning. I ate some oatmeal but even though I was signed up for the taco and burrito lunch couldn't face it. I got a coke to settle my queezy stomach, 7 up to boost my electrolytes and more water. I never if rarely drink anything carbonated. Don't like the bubbles, don't need the sugar or calories or gunk. Then I snatched some a 1/4 bagel.

Read the Tom Cruise biography. Don't bother.
