That's great news that the Medical Leave helped you. If I took off it would freak out my hubby. It really would. It would initially weird out the people I work with too. They would get over it quickly off course, but we are seeing so many people move out of our department that it's become a sick joke. I have flexiblity at work so I am going to use it. Reading the replies here help me see that I can call in tomorrow. I have to be at two meetings at the same time. So the heck with that. I'm staying home to rest up for Wednesday. Mari |

That is a really good idea if you have two meetings on Wednesday. Then staying home on Tuesday is good. I'm glad you are working through this to see what will work for you. Keep going through what works for you. Donna |

 -- "Can you show me how to do such-and-such".I wanted to show how them to lay on the floor and do their best imitation of a "pavement pancake"   Yeah, it's hard for women and for caretakers (which most woman are, I think). We tend to feel best when we're 'helping' so we want to 'help' all the time. It gets out of hand. People being helped get lazy. And we don't want to give up that 'feeling' that we get when we're helping. There *IS* a balance though. It takes a lot of work. Hugs. Enjoy your day off. Don't eat all the Halloween candy!!  Barb

Hello,
Thanks for the words of wisdom.  Today was great. I slept and watched TV. I never left the apt. A colleague has noticed my stress and emailed me tonight something sort of like this: "I know that you have a lot on your plate. What can I do to help"? I thanked hiim, told him that I was fine, and then gave him a short list of what he can do. HA! I'm learning.  Mari |
