Every year I say to my friend Rhonda, if I get sick, I’m going to take a day off. It’s so hard to do though. There’s always a good reason every day, why I feel I need to go. I have struggled along with a bit of a cold for a week or so now and today I really couldn’t go. I woke up with my throat feeling closed over.
I should have taken a day a week ago, but I kept feeling I could manage. There are so many people sick and away at school, you hate to put a burden on the remaining staff. Yesterday’s reflections on my performance made me realise though, I was actually creating more problems by going with the negative attitude and low energy. So today I stopped. I slept all day.

I’m sorry you’re feeling sick.
I hope you feel better.
I think it’s good you took a day off–give yourself a rest. Although I know that can be hard.
I think that it’s necessary to do this when your body needs it. We give so much of ourselves when we’re at work, so it’s logical that sometimes we need to recharge the batteries.
