1st Day of Work

I am happy to say that my first day of work went great.  It was so nice to be greeted by so many smiles and hugs.  My department had a lunch with cake for my welcome back party.  No one sang “Welcome back, Kotter” though.  🙂

I did get a little tired prior to lunch and then at the end of the day but I was able to make it through.  I have a lot of people that checked in on me to ensure that I was doing ok, eating and drinking water.  It took a bit for my brain to restart itself back into work thinking.  It was good that I was challenged a couple times to think and get back into projects that I was working on when I left.

The building is a little weird because the entire lobby was under construction when I left and now its complete.

Last night was a quiet night as I was pretty tired when I got home.  It was a good night for leftovers and the recliner.

I am up and ready to head back today.  I can tell that my body may get more tired throughout the days as the week goes on.  At least we have a quiet room now that I can go if I need 20 minutes to recharge during the day.

Here’s to day 2.  Wish me luck!

It was so awesome to see you back at work! Take it easy now and don’t over do it.

I would imagine that your work days are very tiring. People who are unemployed and then return to work even get tired not being used to the long days and your situation is compounded by the tole your body is under. But, glad you can rest a little during the day and have a great support system in place!
