I 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
Yeah, 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)
