I'm definitely going to try to be a little more glass-half-full. I've spent some time brainstorming, and I think there is a total list of positives to this little situation I find myself in.
1. I haven't slept this much since I was a bebe. Seriously, why did we get rid of mid-day naps? Such a quality idea.
2. I've gotten perhaps waaaaaay to caught up on celebrity gossip. My favorite new item; Will.i.am thinks it's tacky if women have condoms in their homes. But would be super weirded out if they did NOT have baby wipes next to their toilets.....hmm. Ok.
3. Some quality reading has happened. Tina Fey's Bossypants is a must read for all ya'll.
4. Playing connect the dots with the pox on my stomach and arm was hilarious. And I think I discovered a constellation or 2.
5. I really found out who my awesome, excellent friends are. Whether they were bringing me medicine, dinner, homemade cookies or just calling from afar to check in on me, most of my friends really are wonderful individuals!
6. Finally started making a dent in my Netflix queue.
7. Planned a math unit, and part of a reading unit to use upon my triumphant return to work next week.
I still hate the chicken pox, but - they aren't the end of the world. As one of my fantastic coworkers said to me today, 'life happens.' And chicken pox is part of life. At least my life.
