Despite sleeping in every available moment and taking it easy I still feel utterly horrible. I have no energy, trouble breathing, no appetite and am being utterly useless to God, man and the wonderful universe of creates.
I am, in short, utterly sick of this.
I don’t need to be a super-anything but I would dearly like to be something other than utterly useless. I know it will happen but I WANT IT TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW.
The night before last I think I was running at about 20 percent strength at the low point where I was sitting on the bathroom floor feeling miserable.
During the day I probably managed to rocket up to an impressive 30 or 40 percent.
But I slept for five straight hours last night and figure I am probably closer to the sixty percent mark about now.
Hopefully another slow day and reasonable night’s sleep will bring me back to my standard 90 percent by Monday.
Lesson for the day - the numbers are nonsense of course but they should make some sense.
Here are a few from today appropos of nothing.
Lesson for the day - clever cameras are good when only a quarter of your brain is working.
Well the serious drugs seem to be working and the fever is at bay. I’m a little short of energy but other than that travelling pretty well.
It is also a lovely sunny day so I might see if I can manage to go for a walk or something to clear my head.
Lesson for the day - there is always a stronger pain killer.
I have another month at home before I will be starting some kind of work that will take me out of the house for most of the working week. Not that I am complaining, I have been amazingly lucky to get to spend so much time with Nicky and Finn over recent months.
I have also been lucky to be at home so much in daylight hours with a swish camera at my disposal and I haven’t made enough of this.
So between now and February I am goiing to try to take more photos of this, that and the other things. Everything for Nicky and Finn to clothes pegs. It won’t all be amazing but it’s a chance not be be missed.
Lesson for the day - snap.
When I went back to bed last night after Finn was up a felt a bit dry in the throat and had real trouble sleeping properly. Any doubt that I might be sick was removed when I went for a sleep when Finn did in the afternoon. Getting out of bed again at around five was like drawing blood from a stone.

I think I am close enough to the end of the year to look back at it with some kind of perspective.

Come the start of term I will either have classes of my own or will be doing relief teaching a period at a time.
Either way I am collecting some resources with an eye to the relief teaching/warm up type things.
I have a soft plastic ball which should be perfect for Silent Ball. I was given a book called Could You? Would You? which has ideas to use for open ended/getting to know you type activities. I bought a book called 30 Second Mysteries which has a heap of brain teasing/lateral thinking type questions in it. And finally I have my Acme Thunderer whistle.
I will need to collect some more stuff in the next month but I feel like I am on my way.
Lesson for the day - be just a little prepared.
It turns out that my host changed servers and they probably did tell me about this. What I didn’t notice being told was that I would need to change some information with the folk I pay for my domain names.
Happily when I asked for help they did tell me I needed to do this.
Anyhow I have now done that and my markomeara.net email should be working just fine in a couple of days. Until then the gmail address is the way to go.
Lesson for the day - the problem is not keeping your eye on the ball but keeping your eye on all of them.
