Hiya BetterMost friends.

Went back to work this morning.....still wasn't 100%, but felt much better, and couldn't justify staying home.   I'm feeling even better now, so I know I'm on the mend.



Was able to get caught up on everything, and leave on time.  That's always a plus.

Yesterday I read James Marcus' "Blood Relations" (March 11). I didn't want to read it, but I felt I needed to read it.

I spent the day home from work, on a sick day.  Last week one of my coworkers came in sick, and the wonderful woman shared her germs with everyone.

Bless her heart.   

God love her! 

They call that "presenteeism," coming to work when you're so sick you should stay home.

Today a woman who sits not far from me at work had a horrible, dry, hacking cough. I hope she keeps it to herself.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

Happy Monday, if there is such a thing!

Bless her heart.   

I could've  probably worked from home, but I wanted to be off in  case I wanted to take a nap.  I ended up doing that, and slept for three hours during the day.

I'm  going back to work tomorrow.  I'm still  not 100%, but I feel better than I did earlier.  I think after another good night's sleep, I'll feel even better.

Theirs isn't great, though, from what I've heard.

No, it isn't. It's frequently terrible.

It also made me angry to note, as pointed out by with the author, that prisoners have a right to health care, but the rest of us do not!

Over lunch today I finished the article about health care in jails and prisons. It made  me very sad.

Oh, I hope you can break the trend!  Feeling exhausted from dreams is not good.

I've also had pasta made from chick-peas that was very delicious.
