I'm going to stay home till I feel better!!

Here I am on the sofa, too exhausted to move. I feel slightly better as far as the pain goes but very, very tired. I tried to go into school but I only lasted half an hour. I had promised my students that I would be there no matter what. However, 'no matter what' has overcome me and I have come to the realization that I must take care of myself first. I knew that intellectually but had to go through this to realize it on a physical level as well.
