I was thinking today since I’ve had the flu all week what the hell I would have done if I had to go into the office. There is just no way I would have been able to, and then after throwing my back out last night it’s probably added on more days I would have been out sick.
Do you think that work-at-home-moms tend to milk their sickness a little bit more knowing that we can sit in our beds and still do our jobs even if our minds are not as sharp as if we were healthy? Do you think if we had to go into the office we could have used the old mind-over-matter technique forcing ourselves to feel better and drive into the office.
I think so. I think I would have somehow made myself feel better and forced myself to go to the office. But knowing I don’t have to, I am relaxing here at home and not really worrying about when I will get better. Of course I want to feel better, but I don’t feel pressured to.
Does this make much sense? My mind is really cloudy.
