Well, I only worked 3 days this week. Woke up feeling just completely awful and had to call out sick. I don't think I could use my sick time yet (you need to work 120 days before you can use paid sick leave; that's literally in the law defining sick time, it's not something my employer does) but they still let me call out sick, of course. Just won't be paid.

I spent basically the whole morning dealing with it, and I still have a headache that's been on and off. Right now it's on but pretty manegable. I spent most of the afternoon playing Stardew Valley, of course. Now in the second Spring. I got an Ancient Seed, which is really rare but comes from a lot of places. I'm waiting until I have the Greenhouse unlocked to plant it, Ancient Fruit is the best money maker in the game (besides pigs, which I honestly don't plan to use that much despite that, pig spam just seems like a very boring way to play) but the seeds are too rare to justify planting them outside; they persist between harvests, but they take an entire season to grow and they'll die in the Winter anyway. And you have to use the Greenhouse, you can't put them in a pot to grow indoors.
