Breakdown
So here's a nifty little fact I've learned: I cannot physically handle working two jobs right before Christmas. I was doing fine for the last couple weeks, just chugging along and just focusing on what had to be done next, until yesterday. Yesterday my body Had Enough. After feeling like garbage all day at Job #2 and while Christmas shopping after work, I came home and passed out. And I'm not being metaphorical and saying "passed out" when I mean "fell asleep". I fucking passed out while standing in my kitchen. It was then that I realized that, hey! I haven't had a full night's sleep in a week. Or eaten an actual meal in two days. Or drank any water in....I can't remember when. And I really can't be doing this anymore.
So, I called in sick today. I called in sick to my retail job, the day before Christmas Eve leaving them under-staffed. And I feel bad about it, but I just can't do this today. I have to take a break. Now I just wish I could stop feeling guilty about it.
