Back to the New Normal

Whew, I have no idea how I made it through my first day back at work. I'm just grateful I was able to work from home. By the time I logged off I had gotten through a half dozen condolence calls and emails (in addition to all the ones I got last week), caught up with everything left hanging before our winter break, and made some headway towards scheduling the dozen or so client meetings I didn't get to last month. The arm and shoulder pain has now focused in on my neck, which I think must also be the source of the tingling I've felt for a couple months. Probably a pinched nerve. Ibuprofen continues to be my friend, and the agony has certainly eased a bit. Let's hope tomorrow's doings in NJ don't screw everything up again.
