I hurt my knee, and I took a whole week off. I basically did not do anything during my off. I didn't drive for once. I saw my neighbor going to work in the morning and coming back home in the evening. I saw a school bus coming and leaving every day. I have taken more than a week off for my vacation before, but it was vacation. I didn't stay home at that time either. This time was different. I was off when everyone else in this world was working. It felt weird. I guess I could get used to that, and I also think that I would like the part that I could sleep in every morning, but every day around 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon, when I saw everyone coming home from work or school, I felt empty. I felt bad that I didn't do anything while everyone seemed that they had done something. Would I ever get used to that also? My case might have been much better than someone who is really unemployed, because I know that I am off work for a week for my injury, and I know that I will go back to work next week. Those who don't have that hope, I don't know how they handle the 3 pm emptiness, every day...
