Should I go to work?

[mrsbrown]

I first noticed the sore throat yesterday morning. It went away during the day and came back late last night.

During the night, I noticed how pleasantly cool the pillow was and my throat hurt some more.

This morning, my throat hurts a bit and my limbs are floppy. I'm dithering about going to work or not.

I'm aware that if I stay home I can do some of the sewing I need to do, AND flop on the couch at regular intervals. But that's bad, because I'm not just being motivated by feeling crap, so I don't know if my self-discipline is being pure.

OTOH I've also realised, over the years, that the days I DO have the self discipline to get myself to work, despite having other(non-work) deadlines/priorities, are the days that I feel so much better than I do today.

I think I'm staying home.

I vote for staying home and sewing and flopping.

I wish I had...

My general rule is: if I can't decide whether I should go to work or not I need to stay home. Its your guilt that makes you dither over the decision and not listen to your body.

Stay home. It's not worth spreading it, and also potentially making yourself worse.

Worse when tired, better when freshly awake? Rest is what your body seems to be prescribing.
