You have no idea how long it took me to post this post. I started typing at 8pm and now it's 11:30pm and I'm barely typing the second sentence.I have this throat thing and I kept falling asleep but coughing at the same time. Anyway, I've been going to work (like this) and even with my voice gone, I managed to get the point across. I actually taught class while typing on Word and gently banging on a desk to get the class's attention, which I did. It was both fun and it actually worked. Eventually, someone gave me a cough drop and my voice came back (much to the class's dismay since they were having fun reading my lesson instead of listening to me whisper or speak hoarsely.
It taught me something though: I tell my kids constantly to suck it up and work hard, even though they feel ill or tired because life goes on. Now, if they're close to dying, of course take a break. We all do, after all, but if you can keep going, do it. So why shouldn't I keep working hard even though I feel bad? Because in the end, hard work pays off.
Right...?
