"I thought I'd stay home today and accept the things I can't change."

"Exercise? Does climbing the walls count?"

"Now, now, now, it can't be THAT bad."

"There...that chair, hidden by the plants...that's my secret happy place."

'I'm still pretty unwell, I'm not sure if I'll be in the office tomorrow.'

'I couldn't decide what to wear to work so I just didn't go.'

I can't come in today. I haven't got chronic diarrhoea!
