Not Feeling Well....

Tuesday mourning I woke up feeling achy and all congested. I felt fine Monday night; so I do not know where I got it from, but then again who does. I am a little upset because I missed my Tuesday and Wednesday classes, which means I am going to be behind a little. I also missed work and that stinks because my paycheck is not going to be what I would like it to be. Well today I am back at work and still feel weak, but I had to get out of bed because it makes me feel worse. Today I will catch up on all my work that I have missed this week and hopefully I will be back on track by Tuesday, which I am confident that I will.
