What a Week!

As you all know I went back to work this week. It was nice to go back to work. But boy oh boy, I was overwhelmed. It kinda felt like I was physically there but my mind wasn't there a 100 percent yet.

I think it was too much information I had to take, the changes that transpired while I was away and simply the workload. It was nerve wracking at some point. It was busy at work especially Thursday. It's peak season in our section. I didn't know where to start.

Whenever it felt like things were going crazy, I took some breaks. I think it's what saved me throughout the week. I also tried to do things in moderation. I didn't want to stress myself out especially the first week I went back to work. However, in spite of the craziness, I'm glad I was able to remember most of the stuff I used to do. It took a couple of days to catch up but I think I'm glad I could start again where I left off, slowly but surely.

I am also thankful that I am gradually easing my way back to work. I only worked 4 hours a day this week. There were days when the day felt too short, but there were days I wanted the 4 hours to be over. At least the modified work hours I have for two more weeks will be a big help.

The nurse was right, I will be exhausted this week. And I was.
