I used to appreciate sick days.
Backstory
I've spent the day suffering through the obligatory beginning-of-the-school-year stomach bug, and wondering at how often I used to feign illness in elementary and middle school. It seemed like I would miss a few days every month or so, and it became increasingly difficult to convince my parents I was really sick as the school year wore on. Somehow, the tables have turned; the battle is now to convince my parents I am physically able to be in school, even when I'm clearly very ill. Classes have become too stressful to miss voluntarily. Ah, karma. by M.Law in Six-Word Memoirs on Sep 10, 2012 |

Classic lesson of be careful what you wish for, or crying wolf, as my parents instilled in me. I hope the stomach bug clears up soon and you are back on the mend. I recall the days when the workload in school increased the stress. Missing one day, to me, seemed like a month, with all the material that was covered. Self care still comes first.Snuggle up with some soup and a good book that is other than academic. Better days ahead. Lovely momoir and MOTD!
