At least it wasn't on the bed?
I was going to say that!
Telling people at work that I've adopted "but I don't wanna" as my theme for the week probably wouldn't be a good career move, would it?
If you're a diva, I think it's your whole raison d'etre.
I'm sorry, Frank. I hope you can have a peaceful time together, however briefly.
I'm sorry, Frank, and I hope you have some good final conversations. Please be adamant about painkillers for her if necessary.
I'm so sorry, Frank. I hope the remaining time is as peaceful as possible.

Excellent point.

Probably not. But it sounds tempting anyway.
I sort of feel like I might be getting sick, and on the one hand, I don't want to be sick, but on the other hand, a sick day sounds delicious. Maybe I can have both!
Hah--Jesse, when I dare that, what inevitably happens is I think "ooh, I'll call in sick, and chill, and prevent getting worse, because I feel a bit sickly!" and then instead, I just feel awful a couple days later, but feel like I already burned a sick day when I wasn't feeling awful and what a waste! I hate that.
Of course, working from home I now just feel guilty anyway if I'm home and not working--good if I"m only a little sick, bad if I want to take a day off.
I woke up with food poisoning this morning, after missing two days in the office last week with a migraine. I want to destroy the world.

Oh yeah. I was just remembering a couple of years ago when I got really sick around a big deadline and kept thinking I would stay home to get better, and I kept getting worse and worse and finally had to come in on the day I felt the sickest. Good times!
Ugh, Dana. That sounds terrible.
Oh, Frank, I'm so sorry.
I hope the remaining time will be indeed as peaceful as possible, to all of you. And that you will get to say your goodbyes the way you want to (again, all of you, on all directions). Strength and love to you and all your family.
