I took 5 weeks off post surgery, the first time since maternity leave (and that was certainly not a holiday either) that I have had such a long time off and I've just had my first week back and I am absolutely knackered!
Alarm clock wakening was literally the first shock to the system! Gosh, it's been so nice to waken up naturally, have a cup of tea in bed and read the news, catch up on social media etc. Now it's bleep bleep bleep and thinking “what time is my first conference call”
And, how to fit in the bloody exercise that I am determined to do. I'd forgotten that this really needs to be baked into my schedule or it's 6pm and I've walked 2,000 steps and I end up dragging the poor dog on a 6km stomp before dinner!
In hindsight, coming back mid week might have made more sense, but it's lovely to be back, to be seeing people and to be almost back to normal. And now it's the weekend and some down time on the cards!
