Today was my first day back at work.  I have been really lucky, the company I work for has been incredibly understanding and is very supportive.  They even sent me a super sweet care package complete with aloe vera infused socks and a book of texts from dogs.  I’m going back part-time, remotely, and in a different role so it’s practically like having a new job.  Today was just a short meeting to go over what I’m going to be doing.

I’m excited to go back to work; after 3 months I’ve pretty much exhausted my self-entertainment reserves and am starting to become a couch potato. I’m also nervous, this was the company I was working at when my life got turned up-side-down and while I know there were a number of outside factors that contributed to the flare, it still makes me nervous.

That said, the hardest part about today was, you guessed it, what to wear!  I’ve been living in yoga pants and tennis shoes and today it was 40 degrees and I figured tennis shoes probably weren’t office acceptable. I ended up with boots under yoga pants (that look nice) and a purple long sleeve shirt and scarf but boy did it take a long time to figure that out!  I wish I had taken a picture…
