I just need to stay in bed today

[Splash80]

I'm tired. Physically & mentally. I slept badly as I had a bad back in the night. Back is ok this morning. I just need a day off the hamster wheel of life. But I have a FT job, 2 school runs to do today, a team of 6 to manage (office staff) & my friend wants to go out tonight for dinner. I can't have the day off sick and then risk being seen out. Stop the world I wanna get off ... just for 1 day.

Same. I had covid last week. It was awful. I limped on through work ( wfh) until Wednesday when I gave up and called sick. I still feel dreadful but feel I have to go back. School runs and kids dramas in the morning is a nightmare. I just need sleep.

I feel you. There's no pause button is there. Have you got any days off booked coming up? Or maybe book a day just to have a home, reset, relax?

@Applelogo I'm currently goading the DC to get up, while drinking a cuppa as I move around the house sorting school stuff. I WFH fortunately but I still just want to sleep all day today

Well I'd postpone the dinner for a start unless it's a friend who usually lives hours away who happens to be in town.

My old employer used to give us two duvet days a year. They were brilliant when you felt like you do OP. Hope you get through it.

Cancel the dinner date. Do the bare minimum today 🌺

@Applelogo how do you know I had a lovely day yesterday?

@Applelogo haha. Yes I did ! I forgot I posted on there. I thought I had been outted (again).

Agree with others. Cancel meal out. Do bare minimum. And nap. Day naps are great. Do what you need to do.

Cancel the dinner. Work wise make today as easy as you can. Have you got any TOIL you could use this afternoon or could you make up a couple of hours later in the week?

Unless you're in meetings all day I'd put some naps in the diary

Really? Seems a standard day to me
