Today was my first day back to work... It was strange to get up and get ready for work again. The kids were asleep when I left, so that was good (and bad.) As I headed out the door, I definitely had a pity-party for myself (though I am doing much better now!) And it probably would have been easier to "re-integrate" at work, except that when I left on MLOA, our office was being re-configured and some people moved to another company. So it was like walking into a different office altogether this morning. Very strange...
But I did some "intense" catch-up and got moving on some critical presentation stuff for this week... and even have a 5:30-7:30pm meeting tonight. What a way to start, eh? :-)
However, Joe did stop by with the boys and brought me a coffee around lunchtime. That was such a nice treat! And he sent me some picture updates throughout the day to keep me "in-the-loop" on how things were going. I sure did miss "my boys." (The pic is one that Joe sent me earlier.) I am praying that Joe has the strength, patience and energy to make it through the next few weeks - not an easy job!
Oh... and to add to my "welcome back to work" story... I opened up my desk drawer, only to find a breakfast bar partially eaten and a chocolate (that was wrapped in foil) chewed up and gnawed on. There were also mice droppings (see pics) - YIKES! I am a bit creeped out right now. Glad something didn't run out at me when I opened the drawer!
