My mom's thing when you felt sick was to say to go to school and then if you still felt bad, to call her to come and get you. Which, given that the point of faking sick was usually to avoid having to get up and go to school in the first place, was incredibly frustrating.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Wow, I am kinda amazed by the getting the symptoms if faking it or talking about it. I have that with anxiety stuff a bit, but not illness. thank dog.
It is no good to lie just to then end up sicky anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Have you met me recently? I'm filling out the headache diary, and I'm running out of space. And memory. I need to find a photocopier to make more sheets.

yeah, I am amazed by you. I do not doubt any of it. I know it is awful and non-stop and highly suggestive. It is just beyond my ability to fully grasp not ever having been like that.
Even as a child when I got every stomach virus that went around and was up sick probably every other week, it was never suggestive. I could talk the next day about getting sick and have no effect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still will feel sick if I take a fake sick day.

It's almost like a sort of method acting, or was for me, as a kid.
I still will feel sick if I take a fake sick day.I think I have an assache du jour, anyhow, so it's not a huge step from begging off sick and then finding I don't feel all that chipper. I'm trying to not be assache queen, any more. Of course I started trying, right when my seasonal allergies are making me really congested in my chest.

I still will feel sick if I take a fake sick day.
Me, too. It doesn't stop me from taking it, though.

Seomtimes those days where I stay home faking for me starts with a general feeling of blahs, so I'm never really that surprised if I do feel lousy by the end of the day.

I feel gleeful if I take an unsick sick day. Which I haven't done in a while.
