5 more days of teaching. 5 more days of lectures. There are still many more days of grading and exams and the like, but all of that is much easier when the in the classroom/lecture prep time is out of the equation.

On top of being exhausted from school, Kevin and I both have colds, which means by the time we finish eating dinner, we're both ready for bed. I've found that a magic combination of allergy medication and nasal spray works wonders for clearing the sinuses for sleeping. But because the allergy meds are 24 hours, I can't take anything else until that time expires, which means in the late afternoon/evening my nasal passages feel like exploding. And I only use the nasal spray once a day before bed because I'm terrified of the rebound effect that overuse can cause the swelling to come back twice as bad.

But if I can make it through today, I'll only have 4 more days of teaching left. And if I make it through today, I can sleep in tomorrow. And if I make it through today, I get to go on a fun, little yarn excursions on Saturday!
