Just When You Need It

Today, I decided that if I went to work, someone might get hurt. Somedays you just need a mental health day, and while HotAss and others will attest that I rarely spend a full day in the office, I just couldn't be bothered with the office today. So I cashed in a sick day. The first "sick day" I've had in over a year.

And, of course, I felt guilty all day. ARGH! Until 3:45 p.m., when the Enamored Catholic told me I should read my horoscope...

Still in the mood to stay home and forget about the rest of the world? Well, if you can afford to take some time off, see if you can't talk your sweetie or your best friend into doing it with you. There's something about a day away from it all, especially when it wasn't on your schedule to start with, that brings back memories of carefree times when taking a risk was bold and exciting -- like when you got brave enough to play hooky in high school.

Creepy - when does a horoscope ever match exactly what's going on... But a sick day is sounding mighty good right about now :) Hopefully my horoscope will back me up as well!

Skipper's a bitch. But I totally support the use of mental health days, as I'm certain your coworkers do (if for no reason other than avoiding homicide)...

Am I the sweetie who took the sick day with you??? Even though we were across town from each other, and I slept most of the day in a migraine vs medicine coma? :)
