I had every intention of going to work yesterday, but then my body turned into a mafia don.

(Alarm goes off)
Kate: (reaches over to turn off alarm, begins to rise from bed)
Body: What the hell are you doing?
Kate: I'm getting up to go to work, silly.
Body: No way. You're staying home today. I've been moving shit and cleaning your former house for days and days. I'm staying right here and getting some rest.
Kate: No, listen. I can't do that. I have too much to do in the office.
Body: Go ahead. Go to work. See what I do to you.
(Suddenly, Kate's head begins to pound and her right leg cramps. She feels vaguely nauseous.)
Kate: You bastard. This is not fair.
Body: Ha! This is just a taste of what's in store if you don't get your ass on that phone and tell the office we're not coming in.
Kate: Fine. You win.

I must admit I feel a bit better today, though.
