Lost Weekend
I went to bed Thursday night and woke up Sunday evening. I have no idea what happened to the past three days.
It's not often that I get so sick that days become a blur, so this is a strange feeling for me. Luckily this nasty cold virus struck when my wife had some time off.
She covered for me on Friday with teaching. When it comes to homeschooling, you can't just call for a substitute when you need a sick day. Hopefully I'll be back on track tomorrow. My son isn't at the point where he'll guide himself through the curriculum.
I just can't be sick. There are too many things that need to be done. My family is counting on me, and when I'm not there it's kind of a lost weekend for them too.

Crickey, that must've been an odd feeling. Brian mentioned once he slept 24hours too and was totally confused, he felt it for days. He had fun though, been on a Tall ship adventure.
I do hope your are all better now.
I hope you feel better, Phil. I hate the feeling of being sick and knowing you can't get anything done or take care of your kids like you need to. Glad you have some backup.
I woke up this morning and couldn't keep my eyes straight. When I opened them they'd move on their own off to the left. Very disconcerting. I'm better now, but still disoriented a little.
My son had that cold a few weeks ago. It's scary to a parent when a kid sleeps that long.
I came down with same cold a few days later, but had to work. I ate a lot of dark chocolate to keep my eyes open, but it wasn't easy.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
I hate that feeling -- knowing that there isn't time to be sick, and yet feeling so awful you could sleep for days at a time.
I hope you're feeling better!
This probably sounds weird but I haven't had a cold for 14 months now and I could use a weekend-long sleep. I do hope you're feeling a lot better.
