Going to work means possibly infecting your coworkers. What does your doctor say?
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Herding cats for fun
It's not unreasonable to have a stash of goods and cash at home in case stuff hits the fan. I'm not a prepper, but I do live in earthquake country in an age of power shut offs. I buy gas when the gauge gets close to a quarter tank. I have a cash stash. I have bottled water, cat supplies and canned food. I think I remember how to make a rocket stove with five cinder blocks. Just in case.

Hurricane country here. I have batteries, water, and a fire pit that I can use to boil water for coffee. I just have to make sure to grind a few days supply of beans in case of power outages.

The other good thing about calling a doctor is that you've got a documented illness AND if they say stay home for a significant period, HR has to put it in the Short Term Disability bucket that doesn't count against your sick days.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've already used 3 days of sick time.
And as you are still sick you should probably take more.
My accomplishments so far today have been to get two trolls removed from a neighborhood FB group. Troll profiles are bizarre.

Our wings are not tired.
I think my teeth will be ground away to nothing before December. I even made the mistake of watching Rachel Maddow the last couple nights and between the CDC crap and the Electoral College shenanigans I may not sleep soundly again.
I was exhausted after getting up at 5AM to take DH to the airport. He still didn't finish stuff that needs to be done to my son's car so I let him take my car to work today. I could have taken him, but it is 80 miles round trip, and then I would have to pick him up again at 11 and not be home until midnight. Can't do it. Too tired. My sister offered to do the pickup since she is a night owl, but he is a safe driver and the route is basically rural farmlands with nothing but deer to present issues.
So tired.

Good news & bad news. Good is that we have an appointment to see an ideal apartment for son tomorrow. Getting a place has been challenging, but this sounds hopeful. Bad news is that DH had severe head pain when the plane was landing so his doctor is making him come in this afternoon. I think sinus infection, but doctor wants to check BP and other stuff too. He is at a record high weight so he is in for a record level of lecture from our doc.
