Guilt

[selenite0]

So everyone who's been reading celticdragonfly's journal knows we've been having a really, really, miserable weekend. This morning I was debating going to work anyway, since there's this meeting I'm supposed to be running. She made it clear she wouldn't let me, and I probably wasn't up to driving anyway. So I went downstairs to email my boss. After that I had a glass of water and went back up to lie down again. Whereupon the water came up. That actually made me feel a lot better emotionally. Before that I'd felt like I was shirking work, but now I was officially entitled to stay home.

I never got into Catholic theology, but my family made sure I had the guilt part down.

Throwing up the night before entitles you, too, darling. Although yes, I understand not by your mom's standards. But every daycare and school Brendan's ever been in has INSISTED on the 24-hour rule.

Here's hoping we improve soon.

Hope you feel better soon.

Joke:

The Jews may own guilt, but the Catholics have a lease with an option to buy... ;)

I'm sorry y'all are so poorly, & hope everyone feels better soon.

What is religion, after all, but guilt with different holidays?

Hope you feel better soon -- I've had those bugs, and they're no fun, and with everyone else sick, there's nobody around to baby you . . .

Sorry you guys are having such a miserable time. Hope you all feel better soon, get some bland victuals, and knock the bug out!
