No panicking!

I'm in the hospital. Not where I would have preferred to spend Christmas, but I also am glad to find out what's wrong with me, and that they're fixing it. I have pneumonia, which made my mother freak out when she heard the news about James Brown, but just to remind everyone- I'm not 73. I'm on antibiotics, I had a lot of fluid drained out of my right lung, and there's a mass in my lung that they need to check out, but no one was in the pathology lab yesterday to check out the tissue sample.

I spent all day yesterday watching a marathon of "Top Chef," which is our new favorite show (Brent watched most of it with me), and then in the evening discovered that the hospital has wireless internet, which made me incredibly happy- the best Christmas present I could have asked for, as the internet is my connection to most of my friends. It was like I got all of you, wrapped up in a shiny silver package!

Today, along with more IV antibiotics, and playing on the internet, I'm planning to take a shower.

Ok fine, but I also need to clean the bathrooms

I've been nudged to update my blog. Ironically, by a someone who hasn't updated since the last time I did...hint, hint, nudge.... In my defense, I do update my LJ, because it's just one "click" to do that.

Today was the last day of school before the break. I think I would have preferred a snow day, but that thin coating of ice out there this morning wasn't enough to do anything except make it difficult to scrape the windows. At about 10:45, I was convinced that the day was never going to end. My students were working on projects today, which meant I didn't have to do much besides remind them that they had __ minutes left until their projects were due, and then walk around the room to make sure they were staying on task. Fourth period was the worst. Most of them hadn't done their homework, so they weren't ready to finish their projects today, and seemed to think it was completely irrational of me to expect them to actually do their work. I'm silly that way, I guess.

We're headed to Arizona for Christmas, and we leave after Sacrament meeting on Sunday. So that means that in the next 40 hours, I need to clean the entire house, do many many loads of laundry, and pack. I'm thinking that means I get to relax sometime on.....Tuesday?
