back in the saddle
You know what I always say? Re-entry is hard.
Let me tell you - at about 3:00 yesterday I was itching for a gin and tonic and a little nap.
Also? I had smashed my knuckle (ring finger, left hand) the night before and by noon it was black and throbbing (and I'm left handed).
Fortunately, it was an easy day at work.
Unfortunately, just before lunch something freaky happened with my vision. I could see but I couldn't see everything. I couldn't see the edges of things. No peripheral vision. Kind of.
At lunch, my friends pointed out that I was probably about to have a migraine. K texted that I should take some Tylenol and I braced myself.
I did get a headache but it wasn't as bad as I feared it might be. And it was totally different than any other headache I ever had. After it went away I felt sort of sick but by that time it was time to go home. With my smashed knuckle and my swirly stomach.
Anyway - my point is: that was my first vacation from work and it was a nice escape...and it was nice to come back, too - because I still like my job.
I know.
I'm lucky.

The headache sounds nasty.
Returning to work sounds nasty.
Yet you are managing to keep it all together!
Some say the culprit may be chocolate or alcohol.
Those liars.

Of all the things I've learned about you over the years - the thing that shocked me the absolute most was learning that you are left handed.
It just never occured to me that you could be.
