O uterus, how we love thee

[derien]

I took two Advil and a hot shower and then dragged my ass out and sat on the kitchen floor to pay attention to the cat. Lo, what is kept on the bottom shelf of the kitchen island but a mason jar full of chocolate chips. A little less full, now.

Tea, tea, tea, what, what? - to quote Bertie Wooster. hee. :) Leftover tea from my big tank.

The question of the moment: Yesterday I felt like this and I went to work and felt horrible all day. Luckily I didn't have any really bad passengers to deal with, and I was training someone, so that kept me somewhat distracted, but at one point I felt so bad I couldn't stand up, so that they put me on exit duty for an hour and a half. That was kind, because I could sit down, but for some reason it's very cold, there, so I was just huddled, feeling miserable. All in all it's not a day I want to repeat. AND I swapped days with someone again, so I don't get tomorrow off, I'll have next wednesday. If I stay home today I could do the laundry and groceries and have a day with eor on Sunday, which would be novel. But if I'm going to call in sick I need to do it right now.

eor thinks I should not, but he has to be nearly dead to call in sick.

Don't know if I'm still on time, but call in sick. It's no use spreading it at work and being even worse in the days to come and maybe be home all next week. So don't listen to eor, do your laundry and rest a lot today. *hug* Hope you'll feel better soon!

Thing is, I'm not 'sick,' it's just my period giving me a hard time, so no germs to spread.

Hm, in that case you definitely shouldn't listen to a man, who has no idea of what this is like. But anyway, if they had to give you a sitting job at work so you wouldn't collapse, I think that's enough reason to stay home. And if you have to do the sitting job in the cold, next thing you know, you will be sick at home next week.

Well, I'm at work, and feeling much better today. I think because they've got me lifting bags, which keeps me warm and limber. :) Much better than standing around all day.
