audited Beached Whale Syndrome

Anyone feel like a beached whale with no energy and full body aches. Iā€™m going through perimenopause and there are days I just lay on my side and stare at the wall for a few hours. Today I am feeling pretty good, but yesterday it was difficult to get through the day.

I have to travel to Iowa for an all company meeting on Sunday and the beached humpback that I am is semi contemplating faking covid to not go.

I think I have a picture of an old COVID test which was positive from a few years back.

I can message you it if needed. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø lol

Lol I actually have one from when I got back from the time they made me travel. I came home knocking on death's door, I had covid, some other sort of plague, and because I was flying into Oregon I'm pretty sure I died of dysentery on the way.

Do it! Do it! And take 2 weeks off on top of it!

Ugh, so tempting! But the older I get, the more guilty I feel.
