Mac is so handsome with his new haircut.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Me getting to work by 9:30 counts as an accomplishment. (Which I did.) (Today.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My cold is not at all better.
I have no sick time.
This annoys me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I aim for 9:15, and generally hit it. My boss is still out sick today -- yikes! She hasn't been in the office since last Wednesday.

Could someone please make it feel okay to call in sick for a whole day and lose that pay?

Can you afford it? Do you think you'll feel better tomorrow if you get extra rest today? I can't change how you feel (sorry), but those are the key questions.

It's a big day for Emaryn. She has been homeschooled (somewhat a matter of debate), but today she is trying out the local public school for a half-day. The school is very accommodating. I'm hoping it goes well for her.
I hope you get better soon ita, whether you go into work or not. Would they be agreeable to a short day today with some extra time later?

What should make the decision easy is that I feel like ten kinds of fresh hell right now, and really don't want to stand up much less go anywhere.
I will make the bargain with myself that I'll go in to work tomorrow anyway.
I shoulda bought more OJ.
Okay, emailing in infirm, and back to sleep.

If I do any time at all, it counts as a full day. But I don't feel up to that, which means the decision had made itself, I guess.

I wish you lots of healing.
