This past week felt like I was burning the candle at both ends. I was constantly exhausted, stressed and, quite honestly, a little cranky. I’d already decided to take today off as a mental health day.
And then I realized that it wasn’t just for mental health, but that all the stress and exhaustion has actually manifested itself into something bigger. I’m actually legit sick. Complete with the stuffed-up-can’t-breathe-ness and the hacking cough that makes people run for the Purel. So attractive.

I wanted to use my mental health day to both be productive and relax – preferably in the park, in the sun. As it is, it might be a while before I even leave my bed. Thanks a lot, God.
Appreciate it.

Hope you feel better soon!
Take it from a guy voted as “most stressed” in his class- mental stress leads to physical stress. It certainly doesn’t help when you take the time off to catch up on things besides work!
Hope you feel better!
Ok that just sucks. I hope you get better soon! Get LOTS of rest.
Plans? What plans? You didn’t have any plans, or anything. You had nothing but time to be sick.
Feel better.
I really hope you have the slippers he’s wearing. That would make ANYONE feel better.
Tried to sleep out the sick right away so you can salvage the weekend. Hope you feel better soon!
Sorry to hear it – hope you feel better soon!
And I’ll second LiLu’s comment about the slippers.
That picture is how I felt yesterday! True story.
Grr…not at all fair! I hope you feel better soon.
