Cold Meds
Despite a sleepless night (couldn’t stop coughing), I decided I had to go to
class today. Standing in the kitchen with my cold meds in my hand I said aloud, “If I take these I won’t be able to think straight in class. If I don’t take these, I’ll spread my germs to everyone.”
One of my teenagers said, “Take them. Your students will find it entertaining.”
This quote from my desk calendar felt appropriate:
“The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.” -Henry Miller
I don’t think cold meds are going to keep you from spreading germs. I’ve heard the best thing to do to prevent this is to stay home for a day or two. I hope you feel better soon.
