Oh, yay, Friday I love you
May. 13th, 2011 05:45 pm( Cut for musings on budgeting and how my weekly grocery budget isn't as bad as I thought it was )
In other thoughts...
Oh, Friday, I love you. This has been a long week. Thankfully I'm no longer at the "too tired to think, will have a melt-down in the grocery store" level of exhaustion by the end of the week, but an average, non-stressful week still takes a fair bit out of me. I have no idea how I coped through most of February, March and April with full-time work in the state I was in. The cousin who asked a couple of weeks ago when I was going back to work? Is a doctor and probably had a point about the amount of time that I should have taken off to recover.
Of course, if I had short term disability cover at work and Canada had a better scheme for sick pay for people in my situation, I probably would have taken the time off. I'm rectifying that: saving up with the intention of eventually having six months of salary in the bank and keeping my savings at that level, just in case the worst happens again. My long term disability cover kicks in at six months, but it's hard to figure out exactly what covers me until then.
In more cheerful thoughts...
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is really brilliant. Loving it. I may try to get groceries and other things done early enough tomorrow to be able to spend the entire afternoon reading it. Fantastic.
