They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!

Two posts in one day? Is the world coming to an end? This will be quick.

Elementary school started yesterday. Over the past year and a half of subbing, I've gotten to know several teachers pretty well. One of them had knee surgery over the summer, and since she's still recovering, she asked if I would fill in for her in the mornings for the first three to four weeks so she can continue to recuperate.

Now, I was familiar with her incoming class, and they just so happened to be one of my favorites, so of course I jumped at the chance.

Yesterday I was at school for a grand total of three and a half hours with these fifth graders. And it was joyous. Because really, this is the best class ever.

However! Not three hours after coming home, my throat started to feel a little irritated and swollen.

Today, after day 2, I'm getting a little congested and headachey. And to top it off, I'm running a fever of NINETY-NINE POINT TWO DEGREES! For me, this is akin to a normal person coming down with malaria! (I usually run cold, in case you were wondering.)

Moral of the story: my immune system stinks.
