Monday ….

For the first time ever, since beginning to post daily, I feel unable to post today.  Why is this so difficult? I am sad about this.  I would like to spend more time at home; but I cannot afford to give up work yet. Also and more important I enjoy my work! I like doing the things I do, the people I work with and the aims and objective of the institute I work for.  We do a good service and want to remain apart of it as long as possible. Also, my work and my interests are interlinked and to separate them at this time would not be pleasing or practical.  

Nonetheless, occasionally I yearn for for a day or two to spend doing the things that get neglected while I am working.  I have even considered being ‘sick.’  But while noting all of the aforementioned reasons why I should not there are added concerns. Such as lying to friends when they are doing the tasks I should be doing. So, it is far more likely that I and most others will go to work while unwell rather than take an illicit day off!! Or using a so called holiday for doing chores.  

So here I am really ill, nursing a temperature, pain, lethargy and a potential hospital appointment I am sad and hope to resume normal service soon.
