Thanks for your replies everyone. Rainbow, thank you for your insights. And inner zone, you are right, showers help. Though it's a real chore to actually get into the shower these days. I do feel better when I do.

I did go to work today and managed to stay the whole day. I'm taking off a day next week to take my son to his wellness checkup so I'm holding on to that.

One of my students pointed out that I haven't taught anything in a long time and he's right. It's my most difficult class. They come in from gym so they're all hyped up and pretty much impossible to deal with. I'd love to be able to teach something with them but I can't, especially because they take away my male staff that period. So I'm essentially by myself. I have a co teacher but she treats my class as her break period so she's useless. i have no idea what to do with that class.

I just want to sleep forever. Or at least until this is over. Whichever comes first.

I think I'm going to call the office tomorrow and try to switch my pnurse and then try to get an appointment sooner than feb 18. I just can't wait that long. I don't know what will happen.m
