Yesterday I was off work sick and felt awful, but still had to leave the house for a family emergency. This morning I feel awful and still had to leave the house for a client who forgot to get their stuff from us yesterday and her life would have been ruined if I hadn't rushed down to unlock the door.

I'm home and I've left all the curtains closed and if I have to leave the house again today someone is gonna get stabbed.

I did get a barista-made coffee while I was out though, so there's that. They kept giving me funny looks because they hadn't seen me in a mask in a while but I'm determined not to inflict this bug on anyone else.

Hope everyone else is getting a better start to their weekend!

I had a wicked ass flu a few weeks ago. I couldn't work or think for 2 days. I should have taken the whole week off work.

Nothing you can do except wait for it to get better. Take the time off you need.

Yeah, it seems all the bugs we avoided with social distancing are all back with a vengeance. Hopefully you're feeling better now, it seems since covid every illness has a long tail.

I hope today goes better for you! I got to (sort of) sleep in this morning which is nice.

It'll be fine, I'm just taking the opportunity to whinge. It feels like forever since I've been properly ill and my attempts at having a pity-party keep getting thwarted, lol.

Sort of sleep-ins are better than no sleep-ins, so long as it wasn't a disaster of some kind that got you up.

Well, the sleep in was fine but people without young kids probably wouldn't count 7:30 as a sleep in.
