#16 I need a Check up

S.O.L. #16 out of 31

I need a Check-Up 

Patient: Married Female, Teacher,  Mother of 2

Conditions: A crowded classroom full of 25 antsy 5th graders

on a cloudy, dreary, rainy day

                   during the longest week of the year

                   when report cards must be done by Friday.

Chief Complaint:    Extreme Fatigue

Symptoms:   Loss of concentration, Frequently worn out

Lack of energy,  tired, dragging, overall lethargy

When is it occurring?      The week of daylight savings right before spring break and it is only hump day.

Official Diagnosis: ...........

Patient is suffering from a combination of 

Hump day Fever & Spring Break-itis

Prescription

Doctor’s Orders: My Home Remedy:

Increase your intake of fluids Alrighty, I will grab an extra cup of Jo in  
the morn and maybe that donut too!

Limit excessive workload. Guess I won’t grade those papers tonight.

Get extra rest Yes,  I could use an after school nap

Reduce stress. Ok, that means order Take-out for dinner

Avoid overexertion No problem.  I should definitely skip 
working out and try a warm bubble bath therapy 

coupled with a glass of wine.

Take 1 or 2 Pick-Me-Ups I get that every time I read posts and

And a full Dose of Laughter      comments from the Slice of Life.

I will see if this treatment can get me through the rest of the week!

The good news is I heard there is a CURE……..

SPRING BREAK!!!! (next week)
