So I’ve been neglecting this space for a while… but I have a doctor’s note. 3 days + weekend away from work feels like Christmas morning plus vacation until the new year. Felt like.
Now I’m hard at work drawing up schedules, e-mailing, translating, and this. To be fair, I waited until after normal work hours.
I had a very nice break. A lot of walking, climbing, jumping, and photos. No smoking. My only regret is that I’ll never know if I feel better because of those simple things in life, or the horse pills, dissolving tablets, and inhalants I was prescribed.
Today, my first day back in the office, I realized something important. I found that I can take physical stress a lot better than mental stress. I think I’d be really happy as a farmer, maybe in an orchard or a vineyard; not really down with stooping, so no rice paddies for me. But more and more, I’m discovering what does and doesn’t appeal to me. Must be thankful for that.
