I am back at work today. I made myself literally "ease" in. Took the time to catch up. Took a lot of deep breaths.
It wasn't bad. Despite the hard challenges during my actual leave, being signed out of work for days did help clear my head enough to make decisions faster and without having to second-guess myself.
I am also holding on to the thought of two new people coming who will allow me to better manage workloads. With luck, they will both come in this month and then I can begin to look forward to work days that do not have to be just work days.
The need to activate the art shop is intensifying as I need to raise funds for Spock's dental surgery. The goal is to have the surgery done by October at the latest.
Spock will need all of his teeth removed to stop the severe recurrence of gingivitis which makes it very difficult for him to eat, drink, and groom. He is also in constant pain. His brother is also predisposed to the condition.
I barely checked anything done on my Finch app. The work ate up all my attention and energy. Time blindness and hyperfocus kicked in. If my sister had not repeatedly reminded me, I would have totally skipped on lunch and worked on until the end of the day.
What was most difficult for today was disrupting my own momentum to attend to home care tasks. I'm ok today but it won't be sustain for the rest of the week and thereon after.
Tomorrow I need to find time to step out and buy the new set of medicines for Spock and Rollins.
It's late again and I'll run out of hours for sleep.
The storm has stopped and I miss the sound of rain and wind.
May your day be much better than mine.
