I Hate Summer!
Sep. 5th, 2012 05:34 pmI am sick and tired (literally) of this summer heat and humidity.
I woke up on Monday with sore muscles in my thighs and I spent the day trying to figure out what I had done to make them hurt like that.
It's been in the 30s (celcius) for weeks now and there is no AC at school. The teachers' room has been 29C for the last few days. I hate it.
Well yesterday I was feeling quite terrible after lunch and went to see the school nurse. She got me to lie down and gave me an ice pack pillow and a small ice pack for my forhead after giving me a cold sports drink. They decided to call my base school and have the taxi come get me instead of making me stay until 3:40.
Once back at my base school the VP met me at the taxi and was soon joined by the school nurse, the principal and the school secretary all wanting to know how I was feeling and if I had a fever and wanted to go to the doctor. I told them I didn't think I had a fever and would feel better once I was some place cool. I went upstairs to see if I had received the e-mail about the speech contest (my student won 2nd place and will be going off to provincials on Sept.14th). Turns out the judge (Stephanie) could meet me that afternoon to go over Kanna's speech and make the needed changes to it.
So I got a ride home, turned on my AC and waited for Stephanie to come over. It took us an hour to clean up Kanna's speech. Then I read and relaxed and went to bed at 8:30. I had a dizzy spell while lying in bed (that's a weird feeling).
This morning I woke up feeling ok, until I stood up and had another dizzy spell. The rest of the morning went smoothly but I decided to take today off and just drink water and power drinks to try and balance out my electrolytes. I went to school early so that I could print out Kanna's speech and then go over it quickly with her. The school nurse told me that I should buy OS-1 (oral rehydration solution) drink because it's better than regular sports drinks, but that I had to go to the drug store to get it. So I went to the drug store and bought 2 bottles of OS-1 and one bottle of Aquarious. Thank god I got the Aquarious because the OS-1 tastes like sweat! It's gross!! very salty and just...ewww. Aquarious tastes similar but is sweeter so it's drinkable. So I got the idea to mix the two together and now I can drink it! I've almost finished both bottles. I've also been drinking water. I went back to bed and slept for another 2 hours.
This afternoon my cheeks were burning, so I checked my temperature and I have a fever. So now I'm not sure if I'm sick or if it's the heat still messing me up. I really can't wait for autumn. I want to go to work and not feel like crap! I want to have energy again! I want to be able to wear hoodies! Come on FALL!! lol
