Hello my dears. Since my 7 day flu is all that I can think about, I decided not to tax my brain and blog about it too!
During my 6 years of nursing it has come to my attention that coming to work sick is a horrible thing to do. A nurse is supposed to help her patients to get better, not sprinkle new germs on them when they are at their weakest, right? So over the years I have enacted a strict NO GOING TO WORK SICK policy upon myself. This may seem extreme, after all you could always wear a mask and wash your hands frequently while at work, right? Right, but as a career-induced germaphobe I know that germs have a funny way of ending up on the patients anyway. Plus, nurses who go to work sick (I have noticed) do not necessarily wear masks when out of patients' rooms, sprinkling their germs all over their helpless co-workers. I DO feel guilt when calling in sick, after all I am leaving my trusty co-workers in the lurch minus one nurse for the shift. But I figure that in the long run they would be happier not having my germy ass around vs. being sick for 7 days, right??
This ends my rant.
I know that I am bitter because of my current green mucus having, pathetic state. Sorry.

I get extremely angry with people who go to work sick. It's inconsiderate. It...annoys me. You are doing the right thing, and I hope you get better quickly.
...Also, was the soap from you? I wasn't sure if it was you or k.
What did it look like? :) Apparently you are very dirty and will be getting a lot of soap this year... The only way I will be able to tell if it is mine or Kristin's is what it looked like..
Scodioli, baby. I will be dirtay no more.
