Know a lot of folks haven't been in the loop on this, but I'm basically taking this weekend to recover from a fairly serious breakdown where work stress finally got too much. *Thankfully*, I have a boss who cares about me as a person, and he basically told me "go rest, we'll hold the fort while you recover" plus a fair bit of "yeah, I don't know how you guys have done this this long /anyways/.

I guess what I'm saying is
a) I could really use some hugs.
b) I'm doing better than I was on Friday, but am still super pins-and-needles mental-health-wise.
c) If you've ever been a manager, or ever want to be, and you've done / will do the same for an employee in need who's done the best she can? /Thank you./

@zetasyanthis Emergency hugs deployed. *Offers as many as you need, including nuzzles on request.*

I hope you take it easy and do what you need to for your health, you are an amazing person and deserve the rest. ^^

And let any of us digital denizens know if there's anything we can do to help from afar

@Veladynee Anything that reminds me life is not terrible and miserable and blargh is greatly appreciated right now, so you're already helping. <3

And I've spent most of the weekend sleeping. Something like 48 hours of the last 72. Managed to cry a lot of the stress out, which has helped a *lot*. Kinda wish I could take tomorrow and Tuesday as sick days too, but I'm not sure if that'd be pushing my luck slightly.
