guilty
Some days, I feel guilty for having a good day.
Let me clairify. I know that on my MHD, I’m supposed to be resting. I know that this is supposed to make be able to make it through my real job healthwise and mentally rested.
Today, I got a lot done. I straighened up the office, and got a bunch of things crossed off my list. I worked on for-pay customizations. I’m in the process of cooking a big meal (Special K Casserole, Corn Casserole, and brownies (from a box!). I feel not nearly as sore as I did.
But I didn’t stress. I gave myself no deadlines for today, and tried really hard to give myself an environment to do just this. I spent time reading my blogs, and helping on the MT forums as much as I could.
This is not to say that I feel perfect today. Its more like I’m used to feeling 50%. And today, I’m closer to 65-70% normal. It feels good.
So shhhh.... don’t tell my dad. He would rather have me devote my energy towards work things.

Nope! Can’t always be about work Dad, sorry... =P
Sometimes a mental health day for me is best used clearing up little odds and ends that accumulate.
Glad you had a better day!

Thanks guys
MHD=mental health day. I start taking wednesdays off because I was so stressed back in September. And now, even though I’m only working 16 hours a week, I’m still calling them my mental health days. I just can’t seem to make it working 5 consecutive days after being so sick. So MHD’s are a god-send
