It is so cold again! I have a scarf, hat, gloves and earmuffs on today but I was still cold. The kids are obviously feeling it too and more classes have been cancelled due to the flu. One of my 6th grade classes at Tasuda have been out twice this month because they keep catching it.

I don’t seem to be able to get the flu but keep having symptoms separately. A few weeks ago it was an ear infection, then I had a stuffed nose and this week my throat is sore and I have a cough. I guess it’s better to get it a bit at a time then get full blown flu…right?

I cheered up when one of my students drew this portrait of me. I think it’s pretty accurate, right down to the clog shoes!
