My Turn

It was my turn to be absent from the yard today. I took a sick day. Not because I was sick that morning but unfortunately because I was sick the night before which led to my not being able to get my homework completed before my classes today. Which meant that I had to eek out time to do it and something else had to give - work. I guess I figured that since it was my illness that caused me to get behind that it still counted as sick that I had to miss work. I didn’t do it lightly since I knew that subs can be hard to find and even in the backyard, being down one of us does make a difference. It just seems to be the week that we are short one.
