We´re all mad here

After having spent most of the weekend in bed, bitten by the most wonderful bug called "Let´s retch", I had my first day of work today. I can cope with cough and sniffles, but this bug is a pest, especially when four people are waiting for you to cook and you are not even able to think of food without puking. In school everything went well, up to the point it was one of my favourite pupils´ turn, an eight year old who usually can´t sit still for a minute. This time he was kind of subdued. We played, we talked, we did our special exercises- and when I turned around, he spewed the three yoghurts and the milkshake he had imbibed before our lesson to the floor. Great. We do not have a janitor at the moment. He has caught a gastrointestinal virus. The headmaster has it, too. One of the cleaners is sick. Let´s have a guess what she´s suffering from? So I mopped up the floor, brought the little guy to his caretaker and went home. It better not be the next bug for me! I´ve had my fill of being sick!
