the sun shined...

[thehallway]

...and i was able to see it, during the daylight hours that i normally don't, trapped cocooned as i am in my windowless classroom on weekdays. i feel better for just not having gone in today; no pounding headache, no shooting, stabbing pain from my left shoulder blade radiating through the upper half of my body. so yay!me! 

i can't even muster up the will to worry about what my classroom looked like at the end of the day or what i'll see when i go in tomorrow. i'll just bask in the glow for a little while longer.

Sunlight does a body good. I didn't know that until I went on my leave of absence (January '09, too sick to work anymore). Vitamin UV, anyone?

Windowless classrooms ought to be outlawed. Everything needs sun to grow.

[thehallway]

indeed. all of our classrooms are interior classrooms; none have a window. the only windows in the building are up high and small or long and narrow.

not only should that be outlawed, but so should any building that has me breathing thirty year old recycled air.

and they put carpeting in the halls and classrooms. you can see the bloodstains.

i'm hoping your feeling better now and back to work. you are feeling better, right?

Bloodstains?!

Unfortunately, "back to work" wasn't able to happen, but "better" is getting there slowly. Tomorrow will probably be a lazy day, after the two remaining loads of laundry.

Come to think of it, I'm probably headed to bed early-ish.

2200 students and the drama of high school results in the un-occasional fight and/or punching of hands into walls. bloodstains on carpet do not clean up well.

i'm sorry the better is getting there slowly, wish it was quicker, but happy to hear it is getting there.

i hope the lazy day goes well. :)

(New subscriber. Hi! *waves*) I'm glad you're feeling better. Sometimes a day off can do wonders.

[thehallway]

hi!

welcome and thank you. you're right, of course about the day off.

i love your icon. nice blue sky and sunshine. :) is that the brooklyn bridge? oy. i used to live in nyc and still can't remember.

[heathen_outpost]

Thanks! Yeah, it's the Brooklyn Bridge, from last August. I always confuse the rest of them though, and I still live here.

Sun! Seeing the sun requires basking.

[thehallway]

hee!
