"Sick" Day

[kestrelcall]

Woke up a bit before 7 this morning, noticed the sun hadn't even risen (which brought a twinge of sympathy for those who had to be up and moving hours earlier...), felt the pre-winter chill of cold wooden floorboards under my feet, and decided today was a sickday. So, instead of driving for an hour and wandering around campus in the cold, I emailed

You know - I've felt like that a few times that I've invoked a 'sick' day. It's sort of like an unscheduled appointment to reconnect with yourself. I've always felt rejuvenated and ready to take on the world after those days. I can't have one of those until next year though - when I've got 10 vacation days and 1 personal day to burn!

I think I've been having a sick year.

After giving two days of my weekend to someone else's convention, I decided I wanted Monday to myself. I called in for a sick day myself. I grabbed a few more hours of sleep I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Watched episodes of CSI and House I had saved on TiVo, and had myself a decent dinner without thought to price or calories.

I got nothing done of any consequence aside from a load of laundry, but I needed to just take the day off for my own mental health.
