Good advice

"Never allow someone to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option."

Eleven hours of sleep meant a much-improved mood, if not a healthier body. I still felt like a pile of nasty, but I at least felt like a reasonably-content pile of nasty.

Today was also a good exercise in saying No to things, which ended in lots of time to myself at home. I baked like a crazy man in preparation for tomorrow, watched some excellent TV, drank lots of hot tea, and enjoyed my fancy living room chair. Yes, friends do understand when you need time. The good ones do.

Tomorrow will be excellent. Busted furnace aside, my house will feel like home. I have a lot to be thankful for. :)

I'll be contributing (among a giganormous turkey) two Duraflame logs...and maybe some burning pellets.

=)

And yes, "me" time is always a welcome thing...a person NEEDS it from time to time.

I'll be over around 930-1000-ish...fair warning ;)

Excellent advice, actually, agreed.

Have a great gathering, I'll be thinking of you guys.

"Never allow someone to be your priority, while allowing yourself to be their option."

Note that while this is fairly easy to do in social relationships, it's notoriously difficult to pull off in employer-employee relationships. This fact doesn't make the advice bad so much as it highlights the inequity between employer and employed in our society...
