Working for a living?

Today's Thoughts: I stayed home from work again today, but today I made some effort to actually get up out of the body print in my mattress. I pulled the sheets off the bed, washed everything, and did some work. I am coughing less, but am still tired enough to require a nap in the afternoon. Cornbread and tea seem to be my foods of choice and watching a variety of television shows filling my time. I feel far away from my world of work and holed up in my space of sickness and safety. Tomorrow I will try to venture out of the house for the first time in three days. We'll see how that goes. I have work to do over the weekend for school and need to be well enough to go to work on Monday. A lot to accomplish in the next two days, but (hopefully) I will begin to really rally and get all done that needs to be done.

Today's Gratitude January 10: After I woke up this morning from my sickness induced sleeping in, I realized how lucky I am to have a job that I can take a sick day...that my income will not be impacted by the three days this week that I have taken off due to illness. There are many others I know that, due to being paid hourly, do not have this luxury...they would drag themselves to work so that would not to lose valuable wages, spreading their illness to their coworkers.
