Canceled classes

I had hoped I would feel well enough to go to work today, but I felt much worse. I called in sick and canceled all my classes. I had already gotten a sub for Friday's class, thinking we would be flying to Marietta, Ohio, for our college reunion. Unfortunately, we had to cancel that trip too. What a drag. I have a wheezy cough, some sneezing and a bad sinus headache. I also ache all over. Let's see how quickly I can recover.

Thich Nhat Hanh taught me that "pain is inevitable; suffering is optional." I will try to put that into practice.
