Out sick

I was out today and will be out tomorrow, Tuesday, April 30th, due to illness.  I evidently have some sort of upper respiratory infection with a temperature over 100 since Saturday evening. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.  I just wanted to let my parents (and students) know what is happening.  Thank you so much!
