My cold is not at all better.
I have no sick time.
This annoys me.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Me getting to work by 9:30 counts as an accomplishment.
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.

If you'll stay home and do all the right things, ita, then stay home and push fluids, take zinc, vitamin C, use a neti pot -- whatever works for you -- and get some rest. It will help, and all of those things I find impossible to do at work.
Also, I hate working with people who should have stayed home, so I'm biased.
Good luck, Emaryn!

Ah, the joys of full time accounting. I hope you curl up with your juice and sleep and feel much better.
