I went back to work after having taken a month off. This is the longest stretch of time I’ve had off from work since my honeymoon in 1990. My honeymoon was way better. I was excited to be back. I didn’t do all that much. My schedule was SUPER light. I am still tired. I’m glad I didn’t over schedule. It’s going to take awhile for me to get my brain and stamina back.
Speaking of my brain, it is getting better daily. However, I did have a foggy moment today in interacting with one of the parents I work with. I apologized, “I’m sorry. My brain isn’t quite back yet.” Her reply, “That’s okay. Now you’re where the rest of us have been for years!”
My Eyes Are Up Here 
Sounds like day went well in spite of minor gaffe. Good job!
Thanks, Mom!
Congrats on making through your first day. Your brain will catch up… eventually. I love the comment from your patient!
Thanks, Lynette for this comment as well as the many others you posted yesterday!
It’s interesting how much a day at work will take it out of you, even if it is a light day vs a day of hiking in the mountains and how that invigorates us! If we could bottle it…Congrats on your first day back!
So true and thanks! Yesterday was easier though I still snoozed a little after dinner. Today I see more people but with long breaks in between. Then the rest of the week is pretty easy. No reports to write—just a little billing, phone calls, and a trip to the plastic surgeon.
I’m behind on the blog, but I’ve been thinking about you! Good that you’re not over-scheduling right off the bat — give yourself as much leeway as you can.
Thanks, Lisa! Not to worry. My blogging has been a bit on the slow side due to the chunks of normalcy that have been making up my days.
