I went back to work today.

I was off for seven weeks recovering from an injury. It was great to be back... but wow, am I tired! Seven weeks of being a shiftless layabout --- and now I have to be a productive member of society again! Ouch!

Thanks DU and especially the Lounge for helping the time to pass, making me laugh, and keeping my brain from turning to farina. Thanks also to Neoma and backwoodsbob for sharing their tales from the trenches.... I was in there with you and it helped to find a couple of fellow recuperators along the way.

went back to work..and for the first time in my life fell asleep while sitting up...it was because I went back too soon...

I it not laziness..it is HEALING!..

I got used to that afternoon nap all those weeks.... It's hard to stay awake around 2 p.m.!

5. Thanks so much, ITW!

I love all of your posts and pictures, especially the inspirational ones.

It is harder than I thought it would be. Sitting at home, I felt bored and restless. Now I am feeling a little overwhelmed. It will get easier though. And everyone is so nice and helpful. I just missed my coworkers and of course, the kids. I'm actually surprised at how empathetic kids can be! They are so sweet. (Thanks, parents for raising such good kids!!)
