Never could get the hang of Tuesdays

edgNot only did I not get to sleep until almost 11 PM, but I slept horribly. So this morning, my brain is mostly dead.
Someone hit a deer on my road this morning. I didn't actually see it happen, but the deer was lying by the side of the road when I drove past. It raised its head and looked feebly at my car and tried to scramble to its feet to get out of the way, but it couldn't. (It didn't need to, either; I had plenty of room to get past it.) So I turned around and headed home and called the police, since I know from experience that Animal Control isn't open at 5:20 AM, and told them that there was an injured deer on my road, and they said they'd send someone out. I took a different way out to the freeway the second time.
I think that maybe I should have called in sick today. I would say that I would have felt bad doing it, since I'm not Actually Sick, but I feel bad calling in sick any time I do it, so that really isn't a reliable measure of whether I should.
