I did end up going into work. I really debated either calling off or just not showing up. I woke up with Z and ate bagels with her for breakfast, she was being so sweet and playing on her new leap pad, and it was snowy out and cold, but I sucked it up and went in. It was totally fine as soon as I got there. I love the women in my department. I like interacting with other women, I like being treated respectfully and like a peer, not the baby sister or the youngest daughter, and not the main caretaker. Just an average equal.
