"You don't go to work to make friends"

My darn supervisor was obviously upset that I called in today. She doesn't have kids and is pretty self-centered... I realize it is her responsibility to make sure things are covered when people are gone so she would be disappointed that I am gone today. However, I work from home and don't get paid or credit for it. I am going in tonight to make up time. And through all of our recent trials, my husband has worked his butt off so that I could be at my job- so I haven't really missed any time other then while we were in the hospital! I would also like to note that I would never choose to have the struggles we have had... for that matter, I wouldn't wish them on anyone. So, the fact I can still make myself go to work - I think I am doing a great job. At the doc. today he asked how things are going... I pasted on my happy face and told him that I love my job (which I generally do)... I don't think he really believed it because he encouraged me to call if I ever have any concerns (I mentioned anxiety) - "do not hesitate, call me, diet and exercise help, but as with a diabetic, sometimes, no matter how hard you work, you can't just whip yourself into shape." He's a great doctor.
