First week of class makes me nervous. So do disrupted schedules. Thus when my first classes were cancelled because of snow, and my Thursday prep day for a 3 hour seminar on Friday was also pre-empted by a snow day spent at home with children and finger paint, I was a bit stressed [read: clenched-jaw fake chirpy].
Also, the possibility of my catching a relatively severe illness makes me nervous. So does the possibility of my children catching one. Thus having the children home in the same house as Husband (with severe, bacterial pink-eye and the full-on flu) made me a bit stressed [read: clenched-jaw OCD-ish about wiping taps, light switches and door knobs with disinfectant].
Today I seem to have a bruised jaw muscle from too much clenching. Or from digging out the car. And, having taught 2 classes, prepped a syllabus and a seminar class in 70 minutes and then taught that seminar, it really hurts. Enough to distract me from the nervous-sweat smell overpowering my deoderant.
