I have officially survived my first day back at work. There were only a few minutes of terror in the middle-ish where I second guessed five things at once, but I made it!
It was nice to be welcomed back by some loved colleagues -- I thankfully knew most of the girls working today. I was given many hugs and all of my questions were answered no matter how silly they were.
It felt good to contribute to something again. To be a part of a team. To help someone else. To think critically. I won't say that I am particularly glad to be back -- I rather enjoy my life outside of work -- but I do enjoy aspects of my job.
Sleep was difficult to come by last night, but I felt ok when my alarm finally went off this morning. And the day went mostly smoothly. My partner today was exceptionally helpful, which I always appreciate (doesn't everyone??).
It was a good day and I am less anxious to return tomorrow night as the first day is usually the most intimidating.

I can't even imagine how stressed I would be after being off for that long!! I was just off for ten days and had anxiety going back, and that was just ten days! eek. I guess we can get back into the swing of things better than we think. LIke riding a bike... kinda?? although way more stressful! glad your day went well :)
