Lower Respiratory Infection

pretty sure I have strep throat try to doctor myself for a week miss two days of work expected to miss one day kill myself doing double work the next two days exhausted on the weekend, sleep most of it the next week coughing and hacking feels like pneumonia go to work anyway, determined not to miss any more days end up going to the doctor on Tuesday after work She writes me an excuse to stay home three more days I know my boss is not pleased crazy for someone who never misses work to miss five days in two work weeks I am beyond tired of this lower respiratory infection which has taken every ounce of my strength
