minus-squareSeagoon_@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·24 days agoI think I’m a lot like you, I don’t work 9-5 at a job , I work at home 7 days a week, that means I don’t get sick days I have things to do, like look after cats and household chores, so when I get sick I feel guilty and like a failure if I have to rest or take time off but everyone gets a few weeks off a year for sick days, no guilt, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it either, it’s not a failing to need a day off so many hugs, take care and rest up
minus-squaremelbaboutown@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-224 days agoYeah, I think I just had to take this day off and hope for a better one tomorrow. Melbcat got her medication and had food and water which is the most important thing. (She also came in to nap a bit with me and got cuddles and treats)
