Can I just get break, please?

This has been the worst week ever. Well...not ever, but it's been bad. Real bad. A myriad of horribleness. Just thing after thing happening all interconnecting to form this huge web of misery. Here's the breakdown:

1. I'm sick. So I've got no energy, I feel awful, disgusting, nauseated, feverish, unable to go anywhere without at least 6 tissues in my pockets, just sick. Which wouldn't be so bad because Monday morning I would have just called in sick to work(probably Tuesday too) but I couldn't because

2. My co-teacher is on vacation right now. Which means I HAVE to be at school because I'm the only one left to teach. And since I don't have a high fever and I'm not throwing up 8 times a day like 3 other teachers and a 1/3 of the kids in my school are, I really do have to show up. Which wouldn't be so terrible except that Monday morning

3. My car died. So I have been without a car. And I've had to take the train which usually makes me car sick (I refuse to say train sick) which is normally not that big a deal, but it is now because I feel like crap which is a great wasy to start my 20 minute walk I have to take from the train to work which, again, wouldn't be so terrible except for the fact that

4. IT'S ZERO F'IN DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!! ZERO! Why did THIS week of ALL weeks have to be the coldest week in Chicago to date?? By the time I get to work, I am so cold and so numb, yet so fevery hot with my nose running, and I keep forgetting my tissues when I leave for the train and it's just awful. And this walk don't get any easier when I have to take it back to the train in the dark.

This was my day Monday.
This was my day Tuesday.
And Tuesday night I got a treat! My friend came over to charge my battery, but my battery decided it didn't want to charge, so now I have to ride the train all week long and endure the Winter Walks of Doom and somehow deal with 15 obnoxious children which has been impossible because I'm sick and when I'm sick and forced to be around children, all I want to do is punch them. Which is not allowed.

Maybe today I can slip in a little punch.
