Missing in Action

I was sick and mostly slept for the last few days. I made a few feeble attempts to answer on myLot but I was mostly missing in action. Do you try working when you are sick or are you missing in action? Is it better to work your way through or sleep through it? Do you miss people when they are not here?

Mostly I do just a bit. But I cannot do what I usually do as I am very slow. So, it is missing in action too.

I think a little bit is better than nothing at all. But it is so hard when you are shaking with a fever, you just want to sleep. People who work online don't get days off.

@akalinus I haven´t had a big fever for a long time. But I have felt with no energy at all.

I usually try to work at least a few hours. You should do as you feel more comfortable. Take care.

I am trying to do more every day. It just has become harder to o ordinary things that all people do.

When I'm sick and not feeling well, I usually focus on trying to get better. I will try and do other things as well, but I don't force myself.

I guess I don't force myself but I try to make money online. I am watching youtube more than I am working though.

I take the time that my body needs when I do not feel well. Otherwise being here becomes a chore and less enjoyable. Are you feeling better today now?

@akalinus If your weather is like ours, it could be dehydration or a bit of heat stress. We will be well over 100F here tomorrow with the humidex.

Yes, I feel better today. I don't know what was wrong with me but sleeping helped a lot.

@Juliaacv I think of Canada as a cold place. Why is it so hot and is that unusual. I live in Florida where the heat and humidity are unreal.

You should never force yourself to do something if you are not well. Let your body heal itself then you will be ready to tackle the world once you have recovered. Yes we do tend to miss people when they are not around in fact you begin to worry about some people who you are in regular contact with. I hope you are feeling better now!

Thank you for those kind words. I am trying to catch up on internetwork but have an itchy rash that is driving me crazy.

I can try. There is no one else to help me. Some days, I can't do much and it shows. Right now, my chair is going one way and the room is going another way.

If it's only a cold, yes. If I have a fever, I'm useless.

I think my hubby had a cold his whole life. I can't deal with a fever. How does a fever give you the cold shivers? I just can't do much when I am freezing and it is 90 F in here.

I'm sorry you've been ill. I probably would have done much the same.

I miss people but I need to sleep. Maybe they will show up in my dreams;

@akalinus If you are feeling unwell due to some physical problems, I think it is better to take rest.But if you are trying to avoid work because of laziness,you should work.I don't like laziness to make me sleep.I rarely feel unwell,but if I do,I prefer to have rest.

I'm glad you do. I do too. I always wonder if they are ill or their computer crashed or something more terrible happened to them.

It's missing action I prefer to do nothing when I'm sick because I don't want things to go worse

That is probably a good idea. It is harder to do things when your health fails.

Love yourself. Love your body. Health is important. It's better to be missed in action than to be sorry later. When you're sick, you need an ample rest.
