Most people take a sick day when they're sick. Some take it simply when they don't want to go to work.
Today I am sick. As evidenced by the fact that I'm taking a sick day. A few people would rest, relax on such a day to feel better. Unless I can't move, that isn't me. I need to still feel useful. Laundry? Why not! Picking up around the house? Sure. [Even if it takes me double time and I'm exhausted afterwards.]
What goes through my head on a day such as today is too much even for the healthy person.
I'd probably be in work today if I didn't have to be constantly concerned for my job. The two don't add up? Actually they do. If I went into work today, I probably could have managed feeling ill and not being in the best of shape. I would have been able to get through the day with minimal upset. Yes I would have felt worse but small price to pay. Unfortunately my boss has the habit of not understanding. If I'm ill I should stay home. However if I'm ill, why? If I don't come to work I'm not acting like an adult and sucking it up. If I'm not 100% work work work, then I should have not come in and wasted time. It's a double entendre that I have yet to fully understand what he really means. I'm not sure if he really knows what he means either.
So here I am at home. Sick. And making my mind go crazy. At least I have my cats appreciate me being home.
