Down for the Count

I have risen from the dead...officially. I returned to work today after a short illness that hasn't been identified. Last Wednesday I was sitting at my desk at work and all of a suddenly started feeling really bad. Thankfully the bus was running fast that day and I got home in plenty of time to puke by breakfast up. I spent the rest of the day asleep in bed while I shivered a 102 degree temperature. At first I was convinced that it was the water, as we have had so much rain and I got lazy with boiling my water. But then after looking up the symptoms of Dengue Fever, its a good chance that's actually what I had. I spent Wed-Fri in bed with a fever, chills, aches and of course plenty of puking. Thankfully I started to feel semi normal Saturday. I'm kind of anti-doctors, especially here, so my stubborn self didn't dare go near the place. BUT, good news is...I'm back to full health and ready to see my school children tomorrow!!!

Thank you everyone who sent their well wishes during my sickness, you are much appreciated!
