A little non-billable time never hurt anyone ...
So I'm at work, after three sick days and a federal holiday, and there's nothing to do. I mean nothing. Called up the Guy Who Finds Things For People To Do, and he said many of us had been calling him, and he'd try and see if anyone needed a hand, and he'd get back to us. So I'm basically pulling down my hourly rate for straightening my desk and paying the bills. And going to lunch. Woo-hoo.
I took the sick days because I have been feeling Not At All Well. I haven't been sleeping much or well; I finally concluded that I'm making myself sick with worry over the continued non-arrival of my grad school acceptance letters (why, yes, it's still only the middle of February), and sternly instructed myself to Stop That This Instant. Took something to settle my stomach, took something to put me to sleep, and slept for eight hours.

emrinalexander said it all, and said it well: Preach it, sister.
