Oh, thank you - my week is relaxing so far, and I am quite happy right now. Awesome to have this community and people who care!
Regarding taking mental health days, my favorite saying is "every time you say 'No' to something, you are saying 'Yes' to something else." If you are saying No to work on those days, you are saying Yes to yourself and self-care, and vice versa. I don't know why, but it stuck with me. We tend to only fret about one side and not focus on the other, but you need to consider both to make a decision.
Well put! I like that and will try and remember it for the next time I'm feeling anguish over my choices!
