Hi Lindsey,
I've been thinking about posting to see if anyone knew if you were okay. I'm sorry you're sick. I usually do the same things you're doing, only with tv on. Pamper yourself today and I hope you feel better soon. It's good to hear from you. I missed you. Hugs,

Thanks Judy! I think in a bit I might go sit in the living room and watch some Oprah and Dr. Phil and Ellen!
I was nervous about staying home today because I tihnk I'll be getting some comments from my roommate later. She's always saying things like "I can't believe people take sick days! I've taken one in my life and I called in from the hospital! If I can walk and breathe, I can work!" She's very much a "what I do is right" kind of person, and sometimes, especially today, I just don't feel like defending myself and what I do.

Hey Lindsey
Sorry you are under the weather. Try a chiropractor for the headaches and if that doesn't help, I have other ideas - if they keep going. I've been dealing with daily migraines for years and they are finally not every day - been through lots of interesting research on the causes of them, working with MDs and alternative practitioners from different perspectives. Meantime, keep taking care of yourself. Kate |

sick day
Good for you for recognizing that you need a day for yourself! I work at a day spa and I talk with a lot of women who don't take a day for themselves because they feel like they don't need it or will regret it later. There's a reason why your body is telling you it doesn't want to go to work. It's TIRED
Bath's are always the best way for me to relax, and help with the headaches/migraines. Feel Better Soon!!! |

Thanks everyone! It's 3 in the afternoon here and I'm still in my pj's!
Kate- I always say I'm going to go see a chiropractor but I never have yet. My back is sore a lot, and last year I had two pinched nerves in it, and one again a couple months ago. I just can't seem to find time to do things like that for myself. I've been taking birth control pills since I was 18, and last month I had to switch because they stopped making the kind I was taking. That's about when my headaches started, so I think they might be linked. But, that's also around the time that work started getting really hectic so it might also just be the stress.

If you just don't answer your roommate, she'll stop. I find that works wonders!
Why should anyone be proud of never taking a day for themselves? I don't see that as being emotionally healthy, but I don't like martyrs. I do like "mental health days."
