Still sick. Lost my voice now. Made it to my 8 am psychopharmacology class and even went to practicum for about an hour. Was talked into going home by my field supervisor who didn't want me spreading my plague around the office. Had a turkey sandwich for lunch, my requisite one Mountain Dew and spent the rest of the afternoon sacked out on the couch. Got up and ate tomato soup, salad and some more ice cream for dinner. So kept pretty close to my diet today. Helps that I don't have much of an appetite and I get full really quickly.

Went to the grocery store, it was crazy, jam packed with folks getting ready for Snowpacolypse 2013. Winter Storm Q better snow as much as everyone says, my training will be cancelled if schools are closed. They already have closed all the schools except for the ones in the metro area. Hopefully they will announce that they are closed before I head to bed tonight, I don't want to have to break up my beauty sleep just to drag myself out of bed long enough to see if schools at closed tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

Blegh. I hate being sick. Sore throat, cough and expelling phlegm with every couple of coughs was not how I viewed my week as going. Any rate, today the diet only had one hiccup. I didn't eat breakfast, I nursed a cup of tea while I suffered through my 8 am qualitative research class. I decided to skip my afternoon class after seeing my afternoon professor in the hall and she point blank told me to go home and feel better and not infect my fellow classmates. I am sure they appreciate that. I had some carrots and apples for a lunch/snack and for dinner chicken noodle soup and for dessert I had rainbow sherbet. Felt so good on my sore throat though I know it's not in my diet. Hoping I feel better tomorrow as I have a full day of practicum and then have to head out to Council Grove (an hour away) for work as one of my kids that I work with has a wrestling meet.

Winter Storm Q is apparently passing through here Wednesday night. Right in time for me to have to drive to Kansas City, an hour away, for training that I need in order to be paid more at my job. And I do not have time to miss the day of training and go back and make it up later. And I need to be paid more in order to like live. Ugh. I hate driving in ice. Pray for me.
