Glad I Came to Work Today

I've been battling the stomach flu since last Tuesday (when I almost threw up on my boss) and am feeling improved, but not yet recovered. I've been coming in to work when I could pass the tea test (if I can keep a morning cup of tea down, then I can go to work). However, I was very glad to discover a letter in my mailbox at work nominating me for the Golden Apple Teaching Award here at the med school! It goes on to say that I did not receive enough votes to win, but it is definitely an honor to be nominated since the med students see over a hundred professors over the year. I had won this award a few years ago and have been nominated several times, but it is always a thrill when it happens! I also heard that we have done very well with our LCME accreditation which was contributing to the major work stress of last week. This week is spring break for the med students so I am going to try to take it easy. We'll see how that goes.
