October 7: Back to Work

[kinetic_elaboration]

I could have done more this evening after work but… I also could have done a lot less. I had to return to work, which was about as overwhelming as I thought it would be. I had a huge backlog of stuff but I got waylaid by a lot of conversations. And then I had emails and messages to go through, actually way more than I was expecting, and then my new work laptop came in. Which, I mean, I had it on my to do list to bug our IT guy about that but maybe not today. So I had to spend a while setting it up, and even then I only did the basics and my call label printer.

So it was just a lot. Lot to do, lot of people, lot of stuff on my to do list kinda all hitting me at once. But basically what I expected. And apparently I do actually look refreshed from my break, and I don’t feel sick anymore.

The main thing I’ve been avoiding since getting home is writing. Ironic. Always fear it when I’m not doing it, plus my brain’s all over the place about what I want to work on and then it just cancels itself out. I need to get back to my project but I’m so out of practice it’s like… intimidating again.

Anyway. At least I took a shower earlier so I am way closer to being ready for bed than usual! Thanks, past me!
