Current mood:  sick
As most of you know, I've been rather sick all weekend, but now its 5:45pm on Sunday evening and I'm not feeling any better.  In fact, I'm actually doing worse.  My fever broke last night, but came back today with a fury.  I hate taking meds unless I absolutely have to, but I've had to take fever reducers all day to try to keep it under 101....and they aren't doing their job.  My temp just keeps going up.

So, I have to sit here and think, what am I going to do if I can't get my fever under control by tomorrow morning?  Yes, I feel like rubbish, but without the fever I can otherwise function enough to get through the day as I must, but if the fever doesn't break, I don't know what to do.

See, if you've read any of my previous blogs pertaining to my work situation, you would know that things aren't exactly going too well around there right now, and my job is most likely in jeopardy, so I feel like I'm walking on eggshells everyday wondering if the next will be my last.  So now I have to take into consideration all of the following:

~my job is already at risk
~my boss held a meeting with us a few mths back and said no more calling in sick w/o a dr's excuse
~I have no insurance
~I don't have the cash to pay out of pocket to visit a dr. right now unless it's life or death, and this really isn't. 

So, with all of that said, do I go into work in the morning and risk getting others sick, which by the way is how I contracted it in the first place.....from someone sick who couldn't afford to be out anymore without getting fired, or do I call in and hope and pray that I don't lose my job because I can't afford to provide a dr's excuse?  Seems like a very big catch-22 doesn't it?
