Sigh of relief

[angelak]

I went to HR this morning to talk about my doctor's note.
They said I needed to fill out their FMLA form.
That being said - I went straight to my clinic to drop it off.
My doctor filled it out, signed it, faxed it to my HR already (before noon).

I then talked to HR and they said to go ahead and talk to my boss about it.
It was easier to talk to my boss knowing HR had already approved my FLMA form.
He took it neutral like - and had a "this is what we have to do," attitude. Relief for me.

Officially, I am taking FMLA (Family Medical Leave) from June 23rd to July 6th.
I will report to work the rest of the week, (2 more days) and then take 2 full work weeks off, returning to the office on July 7th.
I am really in a state of disbelief.

excellent! good on you (and good timing, too).

take care of yourself, k?

Yes

Most definitely the caring for myself is a MUST.
At this point, the new journey is to sit on my arse for the entire duration the most humanly possible.

Good thing I bought some exciting hermit crab pets recently.
;)

I love the crabs. Not those crabs. Other crabs. Hermit crabs.
(One is named Cisco, the other Linksys.)

Digression. I am really adamant on keeping myself from doing much walking or standing or otherwise until after the 7th. It will be my next challenge. Shut up, sit down, read, and stay sane.

Yay!

Sounds like everything is nicely falling into place.

When I come to visit the weekend of the 3rd, we should do a lot of sitting on our arses drinking tea. :)

Glad that this went through okay. :) We'll have to find some time to hang out if you're willing and able.

Friends and sitting on my ass

Really works for me.

Thanks!

Thanks, me too! I get a good feeling though. I'm being aggressive about this rest business.

I love reading all about your adventures so I know you probably understand how frustrating it can be to have those special parts of your life limited.

:D
