I was sick the whole weekend; not the kind of sickness that keeps you in bed, but one that makes you tired and achy. Still, I was able to spend time with my family on Saturday (video games with my son, a movie date with my wife), and I made it through church and half an annual church picnic on Sunday, but then I crashed for the rest of the day.
All weekend I slept straight through my alarm. This morning, I almost did again, but I was able to drag myself to work. It turns out that two of my colleagues had the same sort of illness.
One of my workmates, Bob, is going on vacation today. Tomorrow, he’ll be in Europe, floating down the Danube for three weeks. I envy him.
Tonight, my wife and I attend a meeting on housing foreign exchange students. We weren’t planning on doing this, but the need is great. My son is not at all thrilled that a Chinese foreign exchange student will be following him around campus all next week, but he does sort of like the idea that he might be able to go to China in April as a result of a week’s worth of inconvenience.
