I am never late for work, nor do I take time out that is NOT cancer-related. I also have never used an alarm clock until very recently. Yesterday I woke up to go to the bathroom, made a Tumeric Tea, jumped back under the covers on the couch...(cause it is NOT spring yet...hehehe). I went so far as to pick out a movie. Then another. Fell asleep for 30 minutes. Put the digital guide on to watch yet another movie. The day was all mine and boy was I enjoying it. That was until I seen that it was......

Tuesday @ 11am!!! I was suppossed to be working. I quickly ran to the phone to call my boss to tell him how sorry I was. Last week I stayed home 4 days to stay with Ed and nurse him better, not like I needed more time off. Embarrassedly I cried talking to my boss, who has been a total peach since the start, he always told me to do whatever I needed but DO NOT QUIT PLEASE.

Today's Joy: Although my boss laughed so hard, I found little humor in it all. The more he laughed the more I cried. It was then that I realized that it may be time to go on an antidepressant. See, even good came out of this.

PS: I still do not think this was funny. What an airhead I am. Not that I can laugh at!!>>Believe51
