Catching Up

First day back after the conference. I have kept up with email while I was away, so there are no surprises. Just lots of followup. Yesterday, I came home from church and took a long nap, so you would think I would be rested and ready to go. Instead, I am dragging around energyless. I am counting the day until I can take my Vitamin B shot. I chalk the exhaustion up to the pernicious anemia.

Last time I saw the doctor, I tried to suggest that maybe I need to take this shot more often, or a stronger dose, but somehow I don't think she understood what I was trying to say. Sigh. I guess the bloodwork will have to be the trigger to change if it is necessary. Anyway, that might not be the cause. I am discovering, and have told my kids that I now have the body of a 90 year old. I just wish I could give it back!

Seriously, the most important thing about catching up is touching base with my staff and colleagues, hearing about the events and challenges of the past week, making my intervention list and my follow through agenda. Then of course, just getting back into the swing of meetings and desk hours. It is good to be back even though I thoroughly enjoyed the conference and the change of venue and pace.
