Feeling Sick...

I really hate feeling sick. No, it goes beyond hatred; it is a personal insult to my soul to have to feel ill. I just got off of the phone with my older daughter and she asked why I was sick. I responded that I just hadn't fulfilled my stress quota, so I needed to take antibiotics and feel like death warmed over just before finals and while I am recording. She laughed. Then she said to feel better.

I ate dinner with my friend tonight. I would have been happy with a bowl of heated canned soup. She made chicken soup from scratch. What a sweetie she is.

I read an interesting article on the Christian left. I never thought of Christianity as polarized between the political left or right. Taken as a politcal force, the Christian religion would be a thorn for either left or right. But that is the subject for another posting. I don't have enough energy to really think. So, instead, I will do homework.

I wonder about having made this decision at this time of life. I have come to a place where I have a very low bullshit tolerance. the school where I am working on my credential seems to excell at production of BS. All of this is just plain taxing. I need to sit down and grind out nonsense to get a grade that the kids I will teach will never know about. I just wish that the assignments actually had something to do with the work that I will be doing.

Enough of that stuff... back to schoolwork. God, I hope I feel better soon.
