Apparently my body really does hate me. It has forced me to rest. It has forced me to do something that in almost 7 years of corporate working experience, I have never done: call in sick.
I know. Most people call in sick when they’re in need of a mental health day. They call in sick because they can. When they need sleep or they just aren’t feeling great, they call in. I’ve never called in. I’ve gone to work and been sent home on numerous occasions. But this week, after leaving on Wednesday with a fever of over 101, I called in sick for the rest of the week.
And today, I spent with the boy, curled up, doing work on his couch, the fireplace going in the background, the snow falling all afternoon… it was peaceful. Relaxing. It felt like home. That comfortable, this is where I belong feeling… that’s what it felt like.
So even though I’m still under the weather, I am happy. It’s amazing what having someone in your life who cares about you can do.
If I could bottle it up and sell this feeling, I would. I’d make millions. Instead, I have to keep it for myself, I guess. But for you? Readers? I wish this for you.
