Saturday was quite miserable. I had an all day training to go to to become a certified Montessori Assistant Teacher. It's a three day training scheduled for that Saturday as well as the following Friday and Saturday, so I still have the rest of the training later this week. Anyway, I had to get up early in the morning to be at the training by 8am which went all day until 5pm. So half of my weekend was gone, thanks to the training! Nothing like being sick all week, attempting to work while sick, and then having a short weekend so I had no time to rest and recover.
The training was actually quite useful. But it was hard to pay attention while my nose was running like mad! I had the horrible combination of a stuffy AND runny nose. I was going through tissues at an abnormally fast rate. It was quite embarrassing. Everyone there kept looking back at me, and during one break a kind woman gave me some cough drops. Though it was a kind gesture, it only confirmed that everyone had heard my sick sound effects going on in the back of the class. The nine hours I was there felt like a life time! Before lunch had even started, I had already gone through all the tissues I had brought with me! I had to run back to the bathroom several times to grab some toilet paper just so I could blow my nose. It was so miserable trying to take notes while sitting in a room full of people who kept shooting me awkward looks as I pulled strands of crumpled tissue from my pocket, holding it up to my bright red and crusty nose.
At that point, the pressure in my sinuses had gotten so bad that I couldn't bend forward without my head throbbing in great pain. But I still had hope that Sunday would offer some relief to this horrible cold so I could return to work on Monday without any problems.
Professor Pickle?...May I be excused to the bathroom? I think my nose is about to explode.
