'The Levels of Well ' blog discussion

I really like the scale as I read it at 5am having been awake and unable to sleep since around 3am when hubbie left for work. I am feeling completely stressed out by work at the moment and have been sat since 3am this morning thinking, a day pottering at home would really help!! So I guess I am 'home well' today. I always know things are getting on top of me because I get swollen eyelids!! Weird I know but it is a sure sign, that I am stressed out.... today I feel I could cope with school run, supermarket food shop for the week and then maybe some light housework and baking.

Or should I just get on with it and go to work! EEK!!

Welcome to October everyone.

I go to workl in all circumstances, even the not well at all scale. Mainly because if I dont go in, I dont get paid. However usually this means passing it on to everyone else in work who usually end up taking time off because they're too ill to come in (bed well). Then followed by a long stint of continuing phases. Whereas anything from home well my hubby takes the time off work sick and gets better in about 3 or 4 days whereas i'm stuck in "really not well", "bed well" or "home well" for weeks sometimes months. I think bed well you should stay at home, home well go to work. Unless you do a physical job or are in contact with vulnerable people in which case anything from "home well" upwards should keep you indoors.

At my work we have what's referred to as 'bus flu'...
it means that you are too well to stay at home but too sick to be at work therefore you are doomed to spend the duration of your illness on the bus.
