Well, first day back at work went really well.
It was as if I had never left..
Its been about 6 weeks.. so it is such a good feeliing to be able to just go in to work,, do my job.. knowing next week.. there will be money in the bank!
I had some lovely Hellos.. and Welcome Back today..so that was nice to have the support.
I am starting back permanent part time.. 3 days a week and I will pick up 2 more shifts to work 5 days..
I do call centre work.. so it can be a bit straining and tiring on the voice and throat.. part and parcel of the job..
Am so pleased to not have to start from scratch and have to do interviews etc.
Am looking forward to balancing out my life more.. by socialising with some of the girls from work.. and getting into art - into drawing in particular..
I bought myself some watercolour pencils.. so will be good to give them a try and see what I can create..
Take Care

Hi Blue,

Good on you for your fisrt day back at work. Sounds like it went really good. Make sure you have a bottle of water for the mouth and throat.
You will have a great time, getting out with the girls , so enjoy.
Just take your time and move in line with what your body wants and needs. Have fun with the drawing as I know it can be really rewarding.
Take care Mate,

Love Les xx

Glad things went so well for you at work. Going back on a part time basis is the best way to do it - don't shock yourself too much and get back into some sort of routine. It is nice that people were nice to you - proves you were missed.

Go Blue!!!
