i tried to go to the doctor to get the all-clear to return to work on monday, but she’s not working today or this weekend. i could have gone to another doctor who was on duty today, but i’d rather go back to my doctor. so, i’ll be returning to work on monday without specific authorization. i’ll stop by on the way home and let her know how i’m doing and that i had returned to work and ask her to just go with my plan. i hope this doesn’t ruin my claim.
speaking of the claim, i got a letter from wcb today saying they’ve accepted it and let me know how much they’ll pay me for the days i was off. it’s three-quarters of my wage, but i don’t think they take any taxes off (and i hear it’s tax exempt), so it will be close to my regular take-home pay even at the discounted rate. phew. i just have to remember to save some cash in case i have to pay taxes on it when i file for 2002 next spring.
i also got a package in the mail from my secret cricket! chocolate truffle frogs, valentine berry soap and a mini astrology book. yay! presents always make my day. now i’m going to eat something (not chocolate) because i’m a little shakey and then read until y&r is on at three. have a pleasant day!
