Sitting here with post-lunch nausea/fatigue setting in.

Took my own temp.

Ate a peppermint.

There is no one to show my best sad face to.

There is no one to ask if I should go home or not.

There is no one to tell a long-winded story to regarding my parent's medical issues while they try and ask about what I ate.

No one to touch base with repeatedly for the next 2 hours.

Man, what I would give to have a School Nurse for me to go to!

I just want an ice pack and to lay down but I don't think the building can function if I move that far from my desk!

I have completed a long-distance assessment and determined that you are in need of a mental health day. Stay home and watch Netflix or read. You should sleep for at least 12 hours.

Signed out by Kidzcare. Please excuse for the next 24-72 hours.

I am so proud of you. You made it through the day! Like I told you earlier, sometimes we don't feel good but we stay at school anyway. You rock! (Virtual fist bump with sprinkles)
