My first week back!



Well, I've reached my first milestone this week - I've actually been at work for 5 days!!! I did go home early on Thursday, but does that count, I wonder???

Anyway, it was only when I was driving home on Friday that I realised how exhausted I actually was. My Dad (who's staying with me for the week) was overjoyed to see me, and I did feel a bit bad as all I wanted to do was lie on my couch with pillows and my fleecy blanket. Yes, a darkened room might have been better, but hey, I felt I couldn't shut myself away.

After dinner, I had a wee snooze, which promptly made me feel worse! But I knew that I was home for the weekend, and I could go to bed whenever I wanted and then sleep till whenever, so that was great.

I am really pleased with myself that I've done this. It is a major challenge to have the alarm ring every morning at 6.20, and then react to that. So, yes, I'm quite pleased about it all. And just think, I only have to do it for just over a week, and then it'll be the summer hols!!! Yay!!

I really do hope that I improve health-wise so that I can contemplate being back at work full-time. In my mind, I'm still really treating this as a "trial" so maybe that's what's helping, eh? Who knows.
