Got out to rapier practice today and did 2 solid hours of drills - rigorous but useful. I'm still not ready to bout yet, but that suits me just fine. The weapon itself is feeling much more natural in my hand, so I AM making progress.

I was soaked when I left, and wasn't sure whether this was due to the unseasonably warm weather or overexertion. Turns out I've been working on a low fever all day :( If I'm still burning tomorrow I WILL take the day off, I swear!

Don't know why it's so hard for me to take sick leave; I guess I feel like if I am well enough to have fun (i.e. fence), I'm certainly well enough to do work.

Actually, wait a sec, I do know why - it's a hangover from my school days, and I can practially hear my mom's voice echoing in my head ("if you're well enough to draw, you're well enough to be at school!")

Nonetheless, fever = stay home, if only because I'm contagious to others. Yeah, that's right, I'm staying home for the good of the office....

Not That Sick

[hadesgirl.livejournal.com]

I've only learned in the past year or so that it's ok to take a sick day when I'm feeling under the weather as opposed to being plague-ridden and addled beyond belief.

I've over 800 sick hours that I've accumulated at work from not using it - I could be dead and still get paid for quite awhile, LOL!

I use days here and there as my brain/body need them.

DO IT! TAKE A SICK DAY TOMORROW!!! EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE, LUKE!!!!

That WOULD be the prudent and clever course of action. It's just that I FSCKING HATE being sick! I can only sit still for so long; that's why I try to save up sick days for when I really am too miserable to get around!

Might still take tomorrow off, if my fever is worse. Dammit, dammit dammit.. I want to be well by the weekend, I have PLANS!
