Well, the inevitable happened and I am back at work as of this week. There were some changes at work while I was gone, but nothing big so it was pretty easy to get back into. The only problem was that I did not sleep well the first couple of nights. I'm not quite sure why and whether the stress of being back at work caused it. My goal at work now though is to not stress too much and take it a little easier. There's no need for me to be an overachiever. Unfortunately I do like a lot of what I do and I can sit at my desk for hours focused on work, even though I should be taking frequent breaks and moving my body. I've also been having a hard time getting up in the mornings early enough to go to the gym, so I only made it once. I did on another day leave work a little early because I needed some outdoor walk time at the garden. I miss being able to go like I used to. I still have a lot of appointments here and there tho so it's also a little tough to have to work those in. Overall, it wasn't a bad first week. Despite enjoying what I do though, I do prefer to be doing something else with my life. I especially miss being more active. Right now I don't have the energy to be as active as I want to be while working, but maybe in time. I also miss the slower pace of life where I am not having to rush around to get things done, or to sleep in if I don't sleep well or am not feeling well. Early retirement is still heavily on my mind.
