Today, being incredibly ill after my second COVID shot, I called in sick for maybe the third time in 10 years (I teach).

Today, despite the fact that I’ve been battling cancer for the past year and was hospitalized for Covid, all my family can talk about is how much weight I’ve gained. Yeah, not like being out of work, quarantined and on a ton of meds has anything to do with it. Thanks guys. FML

FML
Today, I've been asking for help to close up store for the last 7 months, at the height of a global pandemic. My boss's excuse for no help?

Today, while visiting my parents, I observed that I've been able to visit more often because I've avoided getting sick the whole year. My mother responded by reminding me that I need to get my act together if I'm going to lose weight and get healthier. Not the reaction I hoped for, Mom. FML
