What exactly is, sick?
What constitutes sick? How sick do you have to be before it really counts as sick…..??
Hmmm…maybe I should look up the definition because apparently, violent cramps that feel like someone is taking your lower abdomen and braiding it into Bo Derek corn rows, literal physical exhaustion to the point that every little step feels like a marathon and just all over blahness and mentally incapable of a rational thought, does not make one "sick." Nope….that's "just your period."
I fucking hate that.
HATE it.
Feeling like utter and complete crap just doesn't count for anything because it's "just your period…." It's like I should just take some advil and shut the fuck up, right? Pfft…whatever.
And I shouldn't complain….I really shouldn't because I have the most helpful, wonderful husband on the planet. I really do. But man, I just hate that even though I feel so bad, the dishes are left for me…..the laundry still has to get done…there's just always things that no matter what, I have to do even when I feel like this. And honestly I feel bad for Zak, too. He hung out with the kids after school and got Jaime to finish up her homework so I could go nap. So it's not like he doesn't care or is completely unfeeling….he cooked dinner last night while I went out to visit a friend, which is why they were still sitting there today, because I was out last night and didn't feel like doing them when I got home. So I know it's my own fault too…..but come on! Can't you at least wipe the friggin' spaghetti sauce that was all over the counter? Geez……..
Just sometimes being a woman, sucks. Sometimes I just really, really wish I could call in sick and my shit would still get done. <sigh>
For the record, because now I'm curious enough that I had to look it up, here is the actual definition of sick….
1 a (1) : affected with disease or ill health : ailing (2) : of, relating to, or intended for use in sickness <sick pay> <a sick ward> b : queasy, nauseated <sick to one's stomach> <was sick in the car> c : undergoing menstruation
2 : spiritually or morally unsound or corrupt
3 a : sickened by strong emotion <sick with fear> <worried sick> b : having a strong distaste from surfeit : satiated <sick of flattery> c : filled with disgust or chagrin <gossip makes me sick> d : depressed and longing for something <sick for one's home>
4 a : mentally or emotionally unsound or disordered : morbid <sick thoughts> b : highly distasteful : macabre, sadistic <sick jokes> <a sick crime>
5 : lacking vigor : sickly: as a : badly outclassed <made the competition look sick> b : incapable of producing profitable yields of a crop <sick soils>
— sick·ly adverb
Damn, that's quite the definition, huh?? And look at what else just happened to show up on the google search page…
How to call in sick when you just need a day off! (SERIOUSLY! LOL).
LOVE IT!
