  1. I feel this. I’ve been dealing with an upper respiratory issues for almost a month while starting a new job. I had a rough medical appointment yesterday and wanted someone to gatecrash my apartment afterwards and bring me tea and pastries or something.

  2. I’ve had to be a Taylor for myself this week while fighting a cold. Yesterday I felt terrible but was trying to finish a grad school application, eventually forced myself to take a nap and leave the rest for today. This morning I can mostly breathe through my nose!!!! It feels like quite the accomplishment!

  3. Ugh, my beloved had this exact flu! So awful! Everyone take care of yourselves! And EVERY WORKER DESERVES PAID SICK LEAVE, FOR HOWEVER LONG THEY NEED IT, PERIOD. She has the best boss, but we’ve wondered, what the hell would somebody do who was this sick but couldn’t take off time to get well? she’s needed two whole weeks! And even then she’s going back to a reduced work load (because great boss). FUCK CAPITALISM.

  4. I am very much feeling this right now, I’m sick with the flu. Had to call out sick to work and completely fucked up the protocol for finding someone to cover my shift since it was the weekend and I couldn’t ask. (I’m missing so many hours I don’t even want to think about it). Also now in an email war with a professor who refuses to give me an extension on a paper :(

    also, this inspired me to force myself to make some soup and therefore eat a vegetable or two instead of persisting off of oatmeal and rice pudding like i have been for a week
