back in the saddle

I had my first day back at work today - well, the first full day back at work since my Cambodia trip and the new baby!  I was surprisingly focused, but not well prepared.

My job does not allow you to just show up and start a new day, every day overlaps from the last.  Every weekend connects to the next, every conversation has to be remembered exactly as it took place and every event well planned out, and details gone over with a fine toothed comb.

Tough to pick up well - when you're gone for a while.  There is always that moment when you think,
is it worth being gone...

It was.

I'll review tonight, remember what needs to be done and start again tomorrow - and pray a lot!

Being back in the saddle doesn't mean you don't sometimes slip out and have to crawl back in...

that's what the stirrups are for.
