Sick and alone for the holidays (again)

Just complaining that I’m alone on Thanksgiving because I’ve been sick since Saturday with a brutal cold. I’m hacking up phlegm while my NK enjoys an all inclusive resort vacation this week (she was sick last week and recovered fine but it’s hitting me hard). We do a share so I still had to work this week but ended up taking sick days because I’m so miserable. Had the worst migraine of my entire life yesterday which seemed triggered by the sinus pain I was having.

I spent last Christmas alone because I was sick. Cancelled a NYE party I was going to host last year because I was sick. Went to the ER last January with COVID with GI symptoms (got it from NF).

I really do love being a nanny but every time I have to take care of sick kids before a holiday I’m like FUUUUCKKK this job. It just sucks. I keep missing quality time with my family. And I don’t feel like I get enough vacation time to actually ever take a relaxing vacation. Ugh.
