Random thoughts

I've been going to the pharmacy so often as of late, they know me by my first name. And this isn't like the family pharmacy on the corner where you would expect them to know you by your first name. Is that a bad thing? Between all the antibiotics, pain meds, etc., I should be given stock options by these pharmaceutical companies. I am feeling better, though. Day by day I'm able to do a little more, so either something is working or enough time has gone by for my body to start healing. Either way, I'm glad for it.

I'm already fretting about having to go back to work. I've only been on maternity leave for about two weeks and I'm not set to go back to work until April 1st, but the thought of it is making me so emotional. Even though I absolutely love what I do and love the people I work with, I would stay home in a heartbeat with my kids if I could. I'm trying not to think about it too much, but it's hard when I'm getting sentimental about Noah turning two weeks old tomorrow! He's growing up so fast!!!

One of the nice parts of being off work is the absence of so much stress. Working in public education is such a stressful job and I didn't realize how much it stressed me out until times like this when I don't have to worry about it. Because of it, I've been able to focus on things a little more enjoyable, such as this blog, and I've been into reading other writings as well. My attention span is not quite there yet for an actual book, so I've been sticking to shorter writings (since this is pretty much all my little brain can handle right now!). John Mayer is a really good writer and he has his own blog, which I frequent now and then. If you're ever bored, check him out at www.johnmayer.com/blog. He seems to be a pretty bright guy and is also pretty damn funny. Not sure how I came across it, but I did and have read several of his posts and found myself returning to his website now and again. Come to think of it, even if you're not bored, check him out.
