It's now twenty to eleven and I have just finished snarling after a crappy first day back at work. I did pretty well as holding in all my exceptionally cross comments and managed not to resign, so I suppose I should give myself a gold star! ;-) It was ridiculously hard to leave my lovely A at home by himself though as we have become so accustomed to just chillin out together.
All in all I am feeling pretty laid back at the moment, and thought it was time I braved the gremlins on here and got back to blogging. I have to say though that as I am typing every twenty words I get a bleep and a box come up that says I have "an unresponsive script" and it wonders if I want to continue. Bloody annoying but I've decided to persevere. I have finally managed to hook up with lots of people I couldn't at first find too so that's made me feel more at home.
We have a lovely weekend planned with two lots of dinner out with friends so that's all good. Just one work day to plough through tomorrow ... I am sure it will get easier as I get back into the swing of it. (please nod and silently agree at this point) - hmmm, perhaps this is my new form of denial! A and I are doing pretty well at not panicking about his endoscopy next week - I am learning not to go into fight mode until we are sure there is something there to do battle with. I'll keep you update on whether or not that works! ;-)
TIme for bed given that I have to rise at the ungodly hour of seven something in the morning. My natural body clock leans heavily to waking at about nine and going to bed before midnight, but unfortunately, although that has been just peachy the last few weeks - it doensn't go down very well at the office. C'est la vie.
Nighty, night all. Til tomorrow

Ohhhhh its horrid going back to work isn't it. I loved every minute of being at home with Ian looking after him properly (whether he wanted it or not!). But unfortunately as I keep reminding myself, those bills don't pay themselves do they.
Can I just say, I can understand how people find it hard going back to work. I found it equally upsetting resigning from my lovely job in August. I loved being around the kids, they can make you smile on your crappiest day, after all, I managed to work through blinding pre-seizure headaches and it was worth it. I will say, I only worked 3 hours 9-midday school term-time only and as hubby used to remind me, painting, gluing and glittering IS NOT WORK lol
I still get up at 7am sharp every morning to get my kids off to school by 8am when I could easily just lay in bed, I am thinking of going back to bed today - which is way out of character for me!
So good to see you back, had seen Andrew blogging and usually you are not far behind.
Here's hoping to an easy and eneventful scope with nothing to report back.
Have missed your blogs and I know exactly how you feel. I had six months off with Loggy and hated having to go back, keep on about going part-time if they would let me but it would be hard financially as loggy had to take early retirement on ill-health grounds. Here's to next week's scan being "Phew thats OK then" event
Lovely to see you back Tgirl and I hope the well deserved rest sees you feeling much better.
I've been off work since the end of June and will probably not be returning until February. I know that I'll find it very difficult to return. My job is stressful and I'm not sure I can do stressful anymore. I've decided that life is too short and I'm thinking of reducing my hours so I work just 3 days. I'm enjoying being at home and have even done a bit of baking, something I've not done since my boys were young. I hope Andrew's scope goes well with a good result.
Hiya..ive been off work since end of april n dont anticipate going back till mid feb..i really miss it n im actually looking forward to going back. I work for the NHS n they will arrange a phased return for me..going back on a P/T basis n light duties....just to get back in the routine of things.
Im lucky that i enjoy my job..but to me the best thing about it is it marks the end of treatment n the start of some normality again..my colleagues have been an amazing support network for me...making sure i dont miss any gossip n making sure im there on any nights out they have..i cudnt have coped without them
No doubt i'l be complaining about having to work lates at weekend or being on nights before long...hahaha...but again...for me..thats normality..
