How am I still awake?
Today was my first day back at work after a long medical leave, and it was… a lot. Overwhelming. Great. Busy. Emotional. All of it at once.
My team went all out welcoming me back—big meeting, lunch, even putting me on the spot (which definitely spiked my anxiety). But it was also so good to be back in a routine, to have something to focus on again, even if half my day was fighting with system issues and prepping for tomorrow’s new intakes.
I feel like I slipped right back into the rhythm, even though the day left me drained. I got home late, running on very little sleep from all the nerves last night, and honestly don’t know how I’m still awake.
