Missing School

I've come to class everyday this week and been sent home because I'm sick.  Most of my teachers know that I don't miss school and always attend class.  My biggest surprise was when a certain teacher took notice and told me to go home.  But she kept me an extra hour so I could get a copy of the review for the midterm. Not sure why she couldn't have just run off one copy and given it to me while we went on our first break.  Maybe she just didn't think about it. Today, I'm not even attempting to go, just so I can be sent home.  Really, you don't want to catch what I have.  I am getting better (I think) not sneezing my head off anymore or at least not as much. Almost went off the road the other day because I couldn't stop sneezing and I couldn't see through all the water coming out of my eyes.  Luckily I was almost home and on a "empty" road at the time.  When the last one hit, I had to put my foot on the brake and stopped while in the midst of a sneezing attack.  I had no idea if I had stopped in the correct lane, I just knew if I didn't stop I would not make it.  When I was apparently finished, I was on the other side of the road and almost in someone's yard.  This is the power of sneezing. You have no control.  We've all sneezed going down the road, just one sneeze won't effect you much unless you are tail gaiting someone, cause when you sneeze, the foot goes down on the pedal.  So there is reason number one not to tailgate.  You just never know when you are going to sneeze.  "Sorry officer, I sneezed and accidently hit the car", is not something you would want to say, most likely because they wouldn't believe you.  You'd wind up on the list of "top ten stupid things people say to officers to get out of a ticket" list.  I shouldn't have been driving anyway, but I was hungry and my bf wasn't going to go cause he's tired, he worked all day.  Didn't even offer, just told me to get him a number one.  Gee, thanks for your concern.  I'm not even going to get started on him. 
Just heard from my mom and grandma is coughing something fierce, mom afraid if she don't see a doctor soon, she will get pneumonia.  So this probably means I will be getting a phone call soon to take her to a doc appointment today. I cannot complain, as before this mother of a cold came on, I just had a bad cough.  So I snuck a couple hits off her albuterol inhaler, ( I have no insurance and can't afford to go to a doctor get a script for one, not to mention the inhaler WITH insurance is fifty dollars.)  I wish I could just walk up to a doctor, tell him what I need and have them write me a script.  I've been through this before, I need my inhaler, amoxicillin, and a z-pack.  I'll be better in a matter of a few days. Some would say this is fraud, but if you go through something so many times and you know all the signs, you should be able to do this.  Now if you don't get better like you usually do, then you need to go in for an exam. This of course would never happen, but I can dream.  Anyway, I feel bad that I used her inhaler and now she has a bad cough.  I don't think my cough is contagious, pretty sure bronchitis and that's not catching.  But I still feel bad.  But I REALLY don't feel up to taking her to the doctor, but if the call comes, I'll have no choice.
I had no warning of this cold coming, I was "fine" on Sunday, and down for the count Monday.  Usually I can feel a cold coming, feel kinda crappy the day before. Not this time. It smacked me down like a tornado in the night. Just didn't see it coming.  I've been through 3 different kinds of cold meds and so far seems Alka Seltzer is the winner.  Orders for me: lots of bed rest, fluids, food if hungry, and stay out of the cold.  Hope everyone has a good weekend.
