Respite

Well, for one day at least.  Yes, today, for the first time in over two weeks, I was able to work a regular 8 hour day…going in and leaving at my normal times!  As Marcia Brady said when the swelling of her nose finally subsided, “Birds…flowers…trees…it’s a whole new world!”  I actually feel semi-human again!  [...]
