I've been bed ridden for days now with this head cold. It thing has spread to my lungs and I keep missing work because all I want to do is sleep and sleep. Today I woke at 11am, went into campus, met with my adviser and then taught. A friend had given me some Percoset to help with the pain and the coughing, so I drifted into class feeling good and high. We got a lot done and I finished up my student conferences still feeling half out of it while conversing with my students. But they all reported that this is their favorite class. Normally, I would doubt them, but their papers and course work is showing that they really are engaged. This make me happy. Like I'm making a difference. Or something like that.
The Red Sox win was anti-climatic in the end. I had wanted to go to Boston to see the games with friends, but the Illness prevented me from doing so.
Instead, I've been enjoying the beautiful fall colors, the pumpkin patches, and all the harvest vegetables for sale at roadside stands. Fall is spectacular here.
Reading the last of the Harry Potter book right now. Ready for Denis Johnson next!!!!
Any other good books to recommend for me out there?
What the hell are my dear blog readers reading these days?
