Ug. I am definitely sick. After being so healthy this winter, my throat hurts and my ears are all stuffed up. I was lying in bed this morning seriously contemplating calling out. But I have weird guilt issues with calling out sick. It usually causes more fret than healing. I am such a neurotic Jew.
Long weekend coming up – longer if I decide to take a sick day tomorrow, which considering the number of tissues I’ve gone through today, might be wise. I realized too late that this would have been a good weekend to visit Michael & Keithers in DC. Then again, DC is still a mess due to “Snow-pocalypse.” Maybe in mid-March. I definitely have the vacation days saved.
In theory, I would like to use my vacation days to do something exciting. But I am the least spontaneous person I know. And while I’d like to go somewhere in Europe, I don’t have anyone to go with. So it is yet another thing that gets put on the “someday” category. Right now I am focused on building up my savings, both for an emergency fund and a moving fund. I’m doing pretty well on the emergency fund. I should really get my ass into gear on the moving fund.
I’m feeling pretty brain dead today. Work-related reasons, cold related reasons. I need to get better so I can actually finally accomplish my goal of joining/going to a gym this weekend. There’s a 50/50 chance!

I usually feel guilty for calling in sick even when I’m sick. For me it’s the Catholic guilt.

When I get sick, my guilt wins, too. Or maybe I’m holding out hope for a perfect attendance certificate or some kind of wellness merit badge.
