Oh my friends and oh my foes, I am weary of being sick.

I got home from a church organizing thing Saturday last week, saturated with human nature, and I found the husbeast in a state of flatness uncharacteristic for him. He was sick, and proceeded to be a sniffly Mofo all weekend.  I got groceries, made a vat of chicken soup, and hunkered down.

I have caught it and have either been working from home or taking sick days since Monday. He's worked from home and is largely recovered except for a dry cough.

It's not Covid 19, just a cold, the nurse hotline is pretty clear. But it wiped out my week and it feels like I just had gotten over the last one.

Unusually, everyone at work was very supportive of my working at home. I called into our weekly staff meeting and everyone was talking about how to prep for a potential command from on high  to work from home.

I am flat in bed and will probably be back at work Monday. Hopefully the generous vibe toward people taking sick days when they need them will continue past the current crisis.

At least there's that! Hopefully it will adjust attitudes towards sick leave more generally as in making sure all employees have it.

Being sick is miserable even when it's 'just' a cold. Good luck for feeling better soon.
