Down with Disease

Let's see - the last few days started out with a 103.5 fever and a completely useless Matt which totally messed up the entire week of preparations. Things WILL be happening at the last minute after all, but everything is ready to go.
I felt like a nervous wreck yesterday, had a miserable time getting to sleep. Then a funny thing happened. Finally fell asleep, for not more than an hour or so. But in that time had this awful dream where I got a phone call from one of my students' parents basically saying, "You'll be hearing from my lawyer" about some nameless something I had done or said. Think of it as Kafka for teachers.
Anyway, there I am in the dream thinking, "Great. This ruins my vacation!" Woke up soon after and slowly came to realize that it was indeed just a dream. And also realized that I was filled with a feeling of relaxation I hadn't felt for days. Whether it was that dream or just the last grip of the virus I had finally letting go, I feel so much lighter and free this morning. I'm ready for this trip to begin.
Hope you all got the explanation emails about how to view the blog. Let us know if anything isn't right!

Matt
