I already have those for cleaning because I'm so allergic to dust.

Perfect!

I need to remember to use them when I dust. I don't have an actual allergy, I don't think, but it really bothers me.

I haz interview Wednesday morning!!!

YIPEEEE! Knock em dead Aims! (MM is one step closer to the life of leisure he richly deserves!)

But I'm out of sick days, and I don't know what else to do.

Based on what I heard last night, your boss is of the cool. I think she will work something out with you. Whether its a pooled sick day like someone else suggested. Or do you have some vacation time? It sucks, yes, but it's paid time. Or can you "borrow" some from next year? I'm confident that your boss will be helpful on this. In the mean time, rest! Let your body heal! and more {{{{{ KT }}}}}

ION. Looks like my head-explodey info is starting to go public. The powers that be learned late last week, and the rest will know tomorrow. So Erin, expect a LJ update. Or call me after the PDH!

Thanks, everyone. I put a call into the Upper School Division Head, so she's going to call me to talk about my options. We don't have a sick bank pool, unfortunately, and I don't get vacation time other than the already generous school year vacations. I think I have one day left. I am going to talk to Kim about taking tomorrow and possibly Wednesday off.

I just got off the phone with my doctor, who says that the chest xray confirms pneumonia in two lobes of my right lung (which I could have told her--I can feel that it's on that side). She thinks this strain my be resistant to the first antibiotic she gave me, so she's starting me on a second antibiotic tomorrow. All I can tell you is that I still feel lousy, and I don't think I could physically handle school tomorrow regardless.

{{{KT}}} Take care of yourself, lady.

Kristin - my guess is that they want you to be able to teach long term, and will figure out a way to give you the rest you need now. Feel better.

Hmm, all this talk of hair coloring makes me want to play with my color again. But I do like my darker brown now that it's toned down a bit. That said, the greys are starting to peek out at me, might be time to color it anyways.
