Wish you were here. Finally it's Wednesday. The flu is going around a lot of people have been sick, few of our kids at school as well. Unfortunately Korean parents have to work, so unless the kid is running a high fever, they send them to school. So a lot of other kids and teachers get sick too. 

I wasn't feeling well since Sunday, but somehow managed to get through the day on Monday, chasing the headache with some EasyN6. But in the evening I was really in a bad shape. I don't usually get flu, but I was worried about Covid, so I ordered some self testing kits from Coupang (delivered before 7am next day). 

When I woke up in the morning I had a message from my boss that one of our teachers thinks she might have a flu and decided to go to see the doctor. I really wasn't feeling great, so I did the Covid test (with a hopeful heart), but "unfortunately" it came out negative, so I went to work - teach the 6 years old instead of the sick teacher. 

I think this was the first time I wished I had Covid, so I would have a good reason to stay at home. Somehow we all got through the day, today it's Wednesday, sick teacher is back, even though still sick, and I am feeling a bit better. The big bowl of Pho for dinner last night was a great idea.

Now just to put my mask on and get safely through the rest of the week.
